There was an old couple lived under the hill, | |
Blunt it was their name o. | |
They had good beer and ale good to sell | |
And it bore a wonderful fame o. | |
John Blunt and his wife they drank of the drink | |
Till they could drink no more o; | |
They both got tired and they went up to bed | |
But forgot to bar the door o. | |
So they a bargain, bargain made, | |
Made it strong and sure o: | |
The first of them should speak the first word | |
Should get up and bar the door o. | |
So there came travellers, travellers three, | |
Travelling in the night o. | |
No house, no home, no fire had they, | |
Nor yet no candlelight o. | |
They went to his cellar, they drank up his drink | |
Till they could drink no more o; | |
But never a word did the old couple speak | |
For fear who should bar the door o. | |
They went to his larder, they ate up his food | |
Till they could eat no more o; | |
But never a word did the old couple speak | |
For fear who should bar the door o. | |
They went upstairs, they went to his room, | |
They broke down the door o; | |
But never a word did the old couple speak | |
For fear who should bar the door o. | |
They hauled his wife all out of the bed, | |
Laid her out on the floor o; | |
Then up got poor John Blunt in his bed | |
For he could stand no more o. | |
Said, “You've eaten my food and drunk all my drink, | |
Laid her out on the floor o.” | |
“You spoke the first word John Blunt, she said, | |
So go down and bar the door o.” |
