As we rode on together, me boys, to the outskirts of the town

"Oh, since you've had your will of me, come tell to me your name

                  D          A                    E
Likewise your occupation and where and whence you came"

                      D              A                  E
And the losing of her maidenhead, it made her blood run cold

For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o diddle-o-day"
