CHORUS:Oh won't you come along with me loveCome along with me!Come for one night and be my wifeAnd come along with meWell it is of the jolly butcher as you might plainly seeAs he roved out one morning in search of companyHe went into a tavern and a fair girl he did seeAh come for one night, be my wife, oh come along with meHe called for liquor of the bestAnd he makes such fortune playCome have a drink, it will make us thinkThat it is our wedding dayCHORUSWell he called for a candle to light their way to bedAnd when he had her in the room these words to her he said,"A sovereign I will give to you, for to embrace your charms"And all that night, that fair young maid, lied in the butchers' armsCHORUSOh, Early the next morning be sure it went his wayHe looked unto that fair young maid and unto her did say,"That sovereign that I gave to you, do not think me strange,Well that sovereign that I gave to you will you give me back me change!"CHORUSWell about a 12 months later he roved out once moreAnd he went into the tavern where he'd often been beforeHe wasn't in there very long when his fair maid he did seeAnd she brought forth a baby three months old and placed it on his kneeWhen he saw the baby, he began to curse and swearAnd he said unto that fair young maid, "Why did you bring him here?!""Well he is your own, kind sir", she said, "Do not think me strange,Well that sovereign that you gave to me, I gives you back your change!!"CHORUS x 2
