O, `tis of an old butcher, I must bring him in.<br />
He charge two shillings a pound, and thinks it no sin.<br />
Slaps his thumb on the scale-weights and makes them go down,<br />
He swears it`s good weight yet it wants half a pound. Singing..<br />
<br />
chorus:   Honesty`s all out of fashion<br />
          These are the rigs of the time,<br />
          Time, my boys<br />
          These are the rigs of the time.<br />
<br />
Now the next is a baker, I must bring him in.<br />
He charge fourpence a loaf and thinks it no sin.<br />
When he do bring it in, is not bigger than your fist,<br />
And the top of the loaf is popped off with the ye`st, Singing..<br />
<br />
chorus:<br />
<br />
No wonder the butter be a shilling a pound<br />
See the little farmer`s daughters, how they ride up and down.<br />
If you ask them the reason, they`ll say: `Bone`, alas,<br />
There`s a French war and the cows have no grass, Singing..<br />
<br />
chorus:<br />
<br />
O the next is a publican, I must bring him in.<br />
He charge fourpence a quart, he thinks it no sin.<br />
When he do bring it in, the measure is short<br />
The top of the pot is popped off with the froth, Singing..<br />
<br />
chorus:<br />
<br />
Here`s next to the tailor who skimps with our clothes,<br />
And next the shoemaker who pinches our toes.<br />
We`ve nought in our bellies, our bodies are bare<br />
No wonder we`ve reason to curse and to swear, Singing..<br />
<br />
chorus:<br />
<br />
Now the very best plan that I can find<br />
Is to pop them all off in a high gale of wynd<br />
And when they get up, the cloud it will bu`st<br />
And the biggest old rascal come tumbling down first, singing..<br />
<br />

<br />
From Kennedy, Folkspngs of Britain and Ireland.<br />

The Rigs of the Time
O, `tis of an old butcher, I must bring him in.
He charge two shillings a pound, and thinks it no sin.
Slaps his thumb on the scale-weights and makes them go down,
He swears it`s good weight yet it wants half a pound. Singing..

chorus: Honesty`s all out of fashion
These are the rigs of the time,
Time, my boys
These are the rigs of the time.

Now the next is a baker, I must bring him in.
He charge fourpence a loaf and thinks it no sin.
When he do bring it in, is not bigger than your fist,
And the top of the loaf is popped off with the ye`st, Singing..

chorus:

No wonder the butter be a shilling a pound
See the little farmer`s daughters, how they ride up and down.
If you ask them the reason, they`ll say: `Bone`, alas,
There`s a French war and the cows have no grass, Singing..

chorus:

O the next is a publican, I must bring him in.
He charge fourpence a quart, he thinks it no sin.
When he do bring it in, the measure is short
The top of the pot is popped off with the froth, Singing..

chorus:

Here`s next to the tailor who skimps with our clothes,
And next the shoemaker who pinches our toes.
We`ve nought in our bellies, our bodies are bare
No wonder we`ve reason to curse and to swear, Singing..

chorus:

Now the very best plan that I can find
Is to pop them all off in a high gale of wynd
And when they get up, the cloud it will bu`st
And the biggest old rascal come tumbling down first, singing..

chorus:

From Kennedy, Folkspngs of Britain and Ireland.
Recorded by Cooney, The Cheese Stands Alone, Folk-Legacy.
