The Jolly Butcher Lyrics

	作词 : Traditional
	CHORUS:Oh won't you come along with me love
	Come along with me!
	Come for one night and be my wife
	And come along with me
	Well it is of the jolly butcher as you might plainly see
	As he roved out one morning in search of company
	He went into a tavern and a fair girl he did see
	Ah come for one night, be my wife, oh come along with me
	He called for liquor of the best
	And he makes such fortune play
	Come have a drink, it will make us think
	That it is our wedding day
	CHORUSWell he called for a candle to light their way to bed
	And when he had her in the room these words to her he said,"A sovereign I will give to you, for to embrace your charms"
	And all that night, that fair young maid, lied in the butchers' arms
	CHORUSOh,
	Early the next morning be sure it went his way
	He looked unto that fair young maid and unto her did say,"That sovereign that I gave to you, do not think me strange,Well that sovereign that I gave to you will you give me back me change!"
	CHORUSWell about a 12 months later he roved out once more
	And he went into the tavern where he'd often been before
	He wasn't in there very long when his fair maid he did see
	And she brought forth a baby three months old and placed it on his knee
	When he saw the baby, he began to curse and swear
	And he said unto that fair young maid, "Why did you bring him here?!""Well he is your own, kind sir", she said, "Do not think me strange,Well that sovereign that you gave to me, I gives you back your change!!"
	CHORUS x 2
