Steeleye Span - The Ups and Downs lyrics
[Steeleye Span - The Ups and Downs lyrics]
As I was going to Aylesbury
All on a market day
A pretty little Aylesbury girl I
Met upon the way
Her business was to market with butter
Cheese and whey
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
As we jogged on together my
Boys together side by side
By chance this fair maid's
Garter it came untied
For fear that she might lose it
I unto her did say
Your garter's come untied my
Love fol-der-o diddle-o day
Your garter's come untied my
Love fol-der-o diddle-o day
As we rode on together my boys
To the outskirts of the town
At length this fair young damsel
She stopped and looked around
O since you've been so venturesome pray
Tie it up for me o I will if you go to
The apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o day
O I will if you go to
The apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o day
And when we got to the apple
Grove the grass was growing high
I laid this girl upon her back
Her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter such
Sights I never did see
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
O since you've had your will of me
Come tell to me your name
Likewise your occupation and where
And whence you came
Ma name is Mickey the drover boy
From Dublin town come I
And I live at the sign of the
Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o day
And I live at the sign of the
Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o day
And when she got to Aylesbury
Her butter was not sold
And the losing of her maidenhead it
Made her blood run cold
He's gone, he's gone, he's gone, she said
He's not the lad for me
For he lives at the sign of the
Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o day
For he lives at the sign of the
Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o day
All on a market day
A pretty little Aylesbury girl I
Met upon the way
Her business was to market with butter
Cheese and whey
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
And we both jogged on together
My boys fol-der-o diddle-o day
As we jogged on together my
Boys together side by side
By chance this fair maid's
Garter it came untied
For fear that she might lose it
I unto her did say
Your garter's come untied my
Love fol-der-o diddle-o day
Your garter's come untied my
Love fol-der-o diddle-o day
As we rode on together my boys
To the outskirts of the town
At length this fair young damsel
She stopped and looked around
O since you've been so venturesome pray
Tie it up for me o I will if you go to
The apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o day
O I will if you go to
The apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o day
And when we got to the apple
Grove the grass was growing high
I laid this girl upon her back
Her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter such

And we both jogged on together

And we both jogged on together

O since you've had your will of me
