The Ups And Downs
Lyricist:Hart Timothy Daniel, Johnson Robert M Leonard, Kemp Frederick Stanley, Knight Peter Norman, Prior Madeleine Edith
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 by chance 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 jogged on together my boys to the outskirts of the town At length this fair young damsel she stopped and looked around Oh, since you've been so venturesome pray tie it up for me Oh, I will if you go to the apple grove, fol-der-o diddle-o-day Oh, I will if you go to the apple grove, 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 My 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
