get entire table td data using Jquery

I have this weird requirement. I have a table and inside that table I have a form. I am handling that form with the help of Jquery. Is there any way that I can get the data of the <td></td> without having any id or class for that <td>.

My requirement is weird. I got this code from somewhere and now I need to manage this code. If this thing dont work, I will have to manually change the code line by line and there are hundreds of such forms.

<table>
<tr>
   <td>The data that i need </td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td> <form> My form </form> </td>
</tr>
</table>

Try this:

html= $('table td:first').html();

And you can use it like this:

 alert(html);
