letra de the lass of london city - nic jones
well as i was a-walking up white copper alley
as i was a-walking out one fine day
a l-ss neat and pretty from fair london city
her cheeks were like roses, her colour was g-y
and i stepped up to her a-thinking to gain her
saying, “where are you going you pretty fair maid?”
and kisses i vented and love i pretended
for all was in vain ‘cos she was a maid
“oh i can not, i will not, i shall not, i dare not
submit to your p-ssions for i am afraid;
friends will discover i have a new lover
and then they will call me a wanton young jade,”
but i said, “me dear there’s no need to fear
we’ll go to some inn where we shall not be known.”
and then she relented, at last she consented
“but first, kind sir, some money pay down.”
and hearing these words it made me right anxious
to think i should purchase a pretty fair maid;
and when she demanded five guineas, t’was granted
and when we’d had supper we went to bed
but i being tired and weary of drinking
and i being tired and weary of play
i fell a-nodding and she fell a-robbing
and left the old bedroom before it was day
and i turned to kiss her and then i missed her;
i looked for me wallet right under me head
but the lady had plundered, i roared out like thunder;
all was in vain for the lady had fled
and it’s not the gold watch and me silver i value
it’s not the gold watch and the silver i crave
i think some young doctor will be me conductor
i wish i’d not met with that pretty fair maid
