G Em
Up London City I made my way
Am C D
It was up Cheapside I chanced to stray
G Em
When a fair pretty maid I there did meet
Am C D
And greeted her with kisses sweet
G Em
cho: For I was up to the rigs, Down to the jigs
Am C D
Up to the rigs of London Town

She took me to some house of sin

And boldly then she entered in

Loudly for supper she did call

Thinking I would pay for it all.

The supper o'er, the table cleared

The waiter brought white wine and red

The waiter brought white wine and red

While the chambermaid prepared the bed

Between the hours of one and two

She asked me if to bed I'd go

Immediately I did consent

And along with this pretty girl I went.

Her cheeks was white and her lips was red

And I kissed her as she laid in bed

But soon as she was fast asleep

Out of the bed then I did creep.

I searched her pockets and there I found

A silver snuffbox and ten pound

A gold watch and a diamond ring
