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