Oh won't you come along with me Come with me! Come for one night and be my And come with me Well it is of the jolly butcher as you might see As he roved out one morning in of company He into a tavern and a fair girl he did see Ah come for one night, be my wife, oh come along me He for liquor of the best And he makes fortune play Come have a drink, it make us think it is our wedding day Well he called for a candle to light way to bed And he had her in the room these words to her he said, "A sovereign I will to you, for to embrace your charms" And all that night, that fair young maid, in the butchers' arms Oh, Early the next morning be it went his way He looked unto fair young maid and unto her did say, "That that I gave to you, do not think me strange, that sovereign that I gave to you will you give me back me change!" Well about a 12 months he roved out once more And he went into the tavern where he'd been before He wasn't in there very long when his fair he did see And she brought forth a three months old and placed it on his knee he saw the baby, he began to curse and swear And he said unto that young maid, "Why did you bring him here?!" "Well he is your own, kind sir", she said, "Do not me strange, Well that that you gave to me, I gives you back your change!!" x 2
