Misc Traditional - The game of cards

As ^GI was a-walking one ^Cmidsummer's ^Gmorning I ^Gheard the birds whistle and the ^Cnightingales ^Dplay. And ^Gthere did I spy a ^Cbeautiful ^Emmaiden As ^GI was a-^Cwalking all ^Don the high^Gway.

“O ^Gwhere are you going, my ^Cfair pretty ^Glady? O ^Gwhere are you going so ^Cearly this ^Dmorn?” She ^Gsaid: “I'm going down to ^Cvisit my ^Emneighbours; I'm ^Ggoing down to ^CWarwick, the ^Dplace I was ^Gborn.”

It's ^G“May I come with you, my ^Csweet pretty ^Gdarling? May ^GI go along in your ^Csweet compa^Dny?” Then ^Gshe turned her head and ^Csmiling all ^Emat me Saying: ^G“You may come ^Cwith me, kind ^Dsir, if you ^Gplease.”

We ^Ghadn't been walking but a ^Cfew miles to^Ggether Be^Gfore this young damsel be^Cgan to show ^Dfree. She ^Gsat herself down, saying: “^CSit down be^Emside me, And the ^Ggames we shall ^Cplay shall be ^Done, two and ^Gthree.”

I ^Gsaid: “My dear lady, if you're ^Cfond of the ^Ggaming There's ^Gone game I know I would ^Clike you to ^Dlearn. The ^Ggame it is called: The ^CGame of All ^EmFours.” So I ^Gtook out my ^Cpack and be^Dgan the first ^Gturn.

She ^Gcut the cards first and ^CI fell a-^Gdealing. I ^Gdealt her a trump and my^Cself the poor ^Djack. She ^Gled off her ace and ^Cstole my jack ^Emfrom me, Saying: “^GJack is the ^Ccard I like ^Dbest in your ^Gpack.”

“Since ^GI dealt them last time, it's ^Cyour turn to ^Gshuffle And ^Gmy turn to show the best ^Ccard in the ^Dpack.” Once ^Gmore she'd the ace and the ^Cdeuce for to ^Embeat me, Once a^Ggain I had ^Clost when I ^Dlaid down poor ^Gjack.

I ^Gtook up my hat and I ^Cbid her: “Good ^Gmorning,” I ^Gsaid: “You're the best that I ^Cknow at this ^Dgame.” She ^Ganswered: “Young man, if you'll ^Ccome back ^Emtomorrow We'll ^Gplay the game ^Cover and ^Dover a^Ggain.”
