GOOD MORROW, GOSSIP JOAN. AKA and see "Gossip Joan." English, Air (4/4 time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The air appears in Pills to Purge Melancholy, and John Gay's Beggar's Opera (1729) as well as other ballad operas. Another song to the same tune is called "Happy Dick" and appears in Watts' Musical Miscellany and Vocal Miscellany (1734).

Why how now, Madam Flirt,
If you thus must chatter,
And are for flinging dirt,
Lets see who best can spatter.
Madam Flirt!
Why how now, saucy jade,
Sure the wench is tipsy! How can you see me made
The scoff of such a gipsy?
Saucy Jade!
