As I was walking one midsummer's morning, |
| [00:20.02] |
To hear the birds whistle and the nightingale play, |
| [00:25.16] |
Was there that I met a beautiful maiden, |
| [00:28.94] |
As I was a walking along the highway. |
| [00:33.04] |
|
| [00:34.22] |
Oh where are you going my fair pretty lady, |
| [00:37.94] |
Where are you going so early this morn, |
| [00:42.89] |
She answered, kind sir to visit my neighbours, |
| [00:47.52] |
I'm going down to Lincoln the place I was born. |
| [00:51.43] |
|
| [00:52.11] |
Oh may I go with you my fair pretty lady, |
| [00:56.02] |
May I go along in your sweet company, |
| [01:00.96] |
She turned her head round and smiling all at me, |
| [01:04.74] |
Said you may come with me kind sir if you please. |
| [01:09.40] |
|
| [01:11.84] |
We hadn't been walking a few miles together, |
| [01:16.04] |
Before this young damsel began to show free, |
| [01:21.02] |
She sat herself down saying sit down beside me, |
| [01:25.08] |
The game we shall play will be one, two and three. |
| [01:29.33] |
|
| [01:31.92] |
I said my dear lady if you're fond of the gaming, |
| [01:36.03] |
There's one game I know I would like you to learn, |
| [01:41.08] |
The game it is called The Game Of All Fours, |
| [01:44.69] |
So I took out my pack and began the first turn. |
| [01:49.61] |
|
| [01:52.25] |
She cut the cards and I fell a dealing, |
| [01:56.08] |
I dealt her a trump and myself the poor Jack, |
| [02:00.75] |
She led off here ace and stole the Jack from me, |
| [02:04.76] |
Saying Jack is the card I like best in your pack. |
| [02:09.21] |
|
| [02:10.24] |
I dealt the last time, its your turn to shuffle, |
| [02:14.06] |
My turn to show the best card in the pack, |
| [02:18.86] |
Once more she'd the ace and stole the Jack from me, |
| [02:22.81] |
Once more I lost when I laid down poor Jack. |
| [02:28.03] |
|
| [02:39.88] |
So I took up my hat and I bid her good morning, |
| [02:44.08] |
I said you're the best that I know at this game, |
| [02:49.03] |
She answered, young man, come back tomorrow, |
| [02:52.90] |
We'll play the game over and over and over and over and over again |
