A noblemen's fair daughter   Came down a narrow lane.   And met with Captain Wedderburn,   The keeper of the game   Now my pretty fair miss   If it wasn't for the law,   You and I in the bed might lie   Roll me over next to the wall   Roll me over next to the wall      Now, my dear good man, she said   Do not be perplexed   Before that you might bed with me   You must answer questions six.   Six questions you must answer me,   And I will ask them all   And you and I in the bed might lie   Roll me over next to the wall   Roll me over next to the wall      What is rounder than a ring,   And higher than the trees?   And what is worse than a woman's curse,   And what is deeper than the sea?   What bird sings first, which one's best?   Where does the dew first fall   And you and I in a bed might lie   Roll me over next to the wall   Roll me over next to the wall      The earth is rounder than a ring,   And heaven is higher than the trees,   The devil curse is worse than a woman's curse,   And hell in deeper than the sea   The lark sings first, the thrush sings best,   Earth is where the dew falls   And you and I in a bed might lie   Roll me over next to the wall   You and I in the bed might lie   Roll me over next to the wall   Roll me over next to the wall      He takes her by her lily-white hand   And leads her down the hall   And he takes her by her slender waist   For fear that she might fall   And he lays her on a bed of down   Without a doubt at all   And he and she lie in one bed   Roll me over next to the wall   And she and he lie in one bed   Roll me over next to the wall   Roll me over next to the wall    Roll me over next to the wall
