It happened around Martinmas,
And a gay time it was then.
Our goodwife was making sausages
And was boiling them in the pan.


The cold, cold wind blew south and north,
And blew upon the floor.
Said our goodman to our goodwife,
"Go out and bar the door."
"Go out and bar the door, woman!"


"I'm busy with my household work,
Goodman, as you can see.
If the door's not barred for a hundred years,
It'll not be barred by me."


They made a pact between them then,
They made it firm and sure,
That whichever of them did speak first,
Must get up and bar the door.


Then two gentlemen came by
At twelve o'clock at night.
And they could see neither house nor hall,
Nor coal nor candlelight.
