Steeleye Span The Ups And Downs
As I was going to Aylesbury all on a market day
A pretty little Aylesbury girl I met upon the way
Her business was to market with butter, cheese and whey
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
As we jogged on together my boys together side by side
By chance this fair maid's garter it came untied
For fear that she might lose it I unto her did say
Your garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-
day
Your garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-
day
As we rode on together my boys to the outskirts of the
town
At length this fair young damsel she stopped and looked
around
O since you've been so venturesome pray tie it up for
me
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-
o-day
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-
o-day
And when we got to the apple grove the grass was
growing high
I laid this girl upon her back her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter such sights I never did see
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
O since you've had your will of me come tell to me your
name
Likewise your occupation and where and whence you came
Ma name is Mickey the drover boy from Dublin town come
I
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
And when she got to Aylesbury her butter was not sold
And the losing of her maidenhead it made her blood run
cold
He's gone, he's gone, he's gone, she said, he's not the
lad for me
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o
diddle-o-day
