[Verse 1]
D G D
Come gather round you diggers who work the goldfields rare,
D G A
It's of a trick was played on me which caused me to despair,
D G A
I came to town the other day me precious gold to trade,
D G A D
'Twas there I met a pretty maid, who did my heart betray.
[Chorus]
G D A
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
D G A D
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 2]
D G D
We went into a public house and there we did imbibe,
D G A
In whiskey and strong porter, and dreadful stuff besides,
D G A
It's then she asked me up to bed, to which I did agree,
D G A D
But truth to tell I fell asleep, before she earned her fee.
[Chorus]
G D A
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
D G A D
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 3]
D G D
When I awoke next morning, no trousers could I find,
D G A
But scattered all around the room were women's clothes so fine.
D G A
My jacket, shoes and gold had gone, and all that's left behind,
D G A D
Is a woman's dress, a yellow wig and a shaving kit, not mine.
[Chorus]
G D A
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
D G A D
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 4]
D G D
Why did she need the wig? Why did she need to shave?
D G A
It's then the truth it struck me, in a fit of blinding rage.
D G A
My pretty maid's a man I cried, thanks be I fell asleep,
D G A D
I'd rather lose a bag of gold, than wake up with that creep.
[Chorus]
G D A
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
D G A D
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
