W:As I came down from Tottenham
W:Upon a market day
W:'Twas there I spied a bonny lass
W:Her clothing was so gay
W:Her journey was to market
W:With buttermilk and whey
W:So we both jogged on together my boys
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:"God speed fair maid" I said to her
W:"You are well overtook"
W:At that she cast her head aside
W:And gave to me a look
W:That was as full of lechery
W:As letters in a book
W:And we both jogged on together my boys
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:And as we walked along the road
W:Together side by side
W:This pretty maid of Tottenham
W:Her garter came untied
W:For fear that she might lose it
W:"Look out, Sweetheart" I cried
W:"Your garter's coming down my love"
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:"Oh now you've been so venturesome
W:So venturesome and free
W:Oh now you've been so venturesome
W:Will you tie it up for me?"
W:"Oh Yes, Oh Yes, If you'll come
W:To the undergrove with me"
W:So we both jogged on together my boys
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:I took her to the undergrove
W:Among the grass so green
W:The fair maid spread her legs so wide
W:That I fell in between
W:Such tying of a garter
W:You have but seldom seen
W:And we both jogged on together my boys
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:"Oh Now you've had your will of me
W:Pray tell to me your name.
W:Likewise your occupation
W:And where and whence you came"
W:My Name is Johnny the Rover
W:From Dublin Town I came
W:And I live alongside of the Ups and Downs
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
W:
W:
W:So when she came to Tottenham
W:Her butter was not sold
W:By losing of her maidenhead
W:Which made her blood run cold
W:"He's gone. He's gone. He's gone.
W:He's not the lad for me
W:For he lives alongside of the Ups and Downs"
W:Sing Fal the dal diddle al day
