[Verse 1]
A
As I was a-walking, down a London street
D B7 E
A pretty little oyster girl I chanced for to meet
A D A
I lifted up her basket and boldly I did seek
A E A
Just to see if she had any oyyyy - sters

[Verse 2]
A
Oysters, oh oysters, oysters, said she
D B7 E
These are the finest oysters ever you will see
A D A
I sell them three a penny but I'd give them to you free
A E A
For I see you are a lover of oyyyy - sters

[Verse 3]
A
Oh Landlord, oh landlord, landlord, I cried
D B7 E
Have you got a little room that's empty and near - by
A D A
Where me and my pretty little oyster girl may lie
A E A
While we bargain for her basket of oyyyy - sters

[Verse 4]
A
We hadn't been upstairs for a quarter hour or more
D B7 E
When that pretty little oyster girl started for the door
A D A
She'd gone picked my pocket, down the stairs she tore
A E A
But she left me with a basket of oyyyy - sters

[Verse 5]
A
Oh landlord, oh landlord, landlord, I cried
D B7 E
Did you see that little oyster girl drinking by my side
A D A
She's Gone picked my pocket, but the landlord just replied
A E A
Son, you shouldn't be so fond of your oyyyy - sters
