Steeleye Span - The ups and downs

N.C.

As I was going to Aylesbury all on a market day

N.C.

A pretty little Aylesbury girl I met upon the way

N.C.

Her business was to market with butter, cheese and whey

N.C.

And we both jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o diddle-o-day

N.C.

And we both jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o diddle-o-day

As ^Awe jogged on together, me boys, to^Egether side by side By chance this fair maid's ^Dgarter, by ^Achance it came un^Etied For ^Afear that she might lose it, I unto her did ^Esay "Oh, your ^Agarter's come untied, me love, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday "Oh, your garter's come untied, me love, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday

As we rode on together, me boys, to the ^Eoutskirts of the town At length this fair young ^Ddamsel, she ^Astopped and looked a^Eround "Oh, ^Asince you've been so venturesome, pray tie it up for ^Eme" "Oh, I ^Awill if you go to the apple grove, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday Oh, I will if you go to the apple grove, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday"

And when we got to the apple grove, the ^Egrass was growing high I laid this girl u^Dpon her back, her ^Agarter for to ^Etie While ^Atying of her garter, such sights I never did ^Esee And we ^Aboth jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday And we both jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday

"Oh, since you've had your will of me, come ^Etell to me your name Likewise your occu^Dpation and ^Awhere and whence you ^Ecame" "Me ^Aname is Mickey the drover boy, from Dublin town come ^EI And I ^Alive at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday Oh, I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday"

And when she got to Aylesbury, her ^Ebutter was not sold And the losing of her ^Dmaidenhead, it ^Amade her blood run ^Ecold "He's ^Agone, he's gone, he's gone", she said, "He's not the lad for ^Eme For he ^Alives at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o ^Ediddle-o-^Aday"
