Steeleye Span - Creeping Jane lyrics

[Steeleye Span - Creeping Jane lyrics]

I'll sing you a song and a very pretty one
Concerning Creeping Jane
She never saw a mare nor
A gelding in her life
That she valued at the worth of half a pin
Lal the day diddle lol de day-o
That she valued at the worth of half a pin
Lal the day

When Creeping Jane on the racecourse came
The gentlemen giggled all around
And all they had to say
Concerning little Jane
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground
Lal the day diddlе lol de day-o
She's not able for to gallop o'еr the ground
Lal the day now when that they came
To the second milepost she was far behind
Then the rider flung his whip
Around her little neck
And he says, "Me little lady, never mind"


Lal the day diddle lol de day-o
And he says, "Me little lady, never mind"
Lal the day

Now when that they came to the third milepost
She looked blithe and smart
And then she lifted up her lily-white hoof
And flew past them all like a dart
Lal the day diddle lol de day-o
And she flew past them all like a dart
Lal the day

Now Creeping Jane the race has won
And scarcely sweat one drop
She's able for to gallop o'er
The ground all again
The others are not able for to trot
Lal the day diddle lol de day-o
The others are not able for to trot
Lal the day

Now Creeping Jane is dead and gone
Her body lies on the cold ground
I'll go down to her master
One favour for to beg
To keep her little body from the hounds
Lal the day diddle lol de day-o
To keep her little body from the hounds
Lal the day lal the day
Lal the day
