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