AE
As we jogged on together, me boys, together side by
side
DA
By chance this fair maid's garter, by chance it came
E
untied
AE
For fear that she might lose it, I unto her did say
A
"Oh, your garter's come untied, me love, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
"Oh, your garter's come untied, me love, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
[Verse]
E
As we rode on together, me boys, to the outskirts of
the town
DA
At length this fair young damsel, she stopped and
E
looked around
A
"Oh, since you've been so venturesome, pray tie it up
E
for me"
A
"Oh, I will if you go to the apple grove, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
Oh, I will if you go to the apple grove, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day"
[Instrumental]
AEDAEAAEAEA
[Verse]
E
And when we got to the apple grove, the grass was
growing high
DAE
I laid this girl upon her back, her garter for to tie
AE
While tying of her garter, such sights I never did see
A
And we both jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together, me boys, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
[Verse]
E
"Oh, since you've had your will of me, come tell to me
your name
DAE
Likewise your occupation and where and whence you came"
A
"Me name is Mickey the drover boy, from Dublin town
E
come I
A
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day
Oh, I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs, fol-der-o
EA
diddle-o-day"
[Instrumental]
AEDAEAAEAEA
[Verse]
E
And when she got to Aylesbury, her butter was not sold
DA
And the losing of her maidenhead, it made her blood run
E
cold
A
"He's gone, he's gone, he's gone", she said, "He's not
E
the lad for me
A
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs,
EA
fol-der-o diddle-o-day
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs,
EA
fol-der-o diddle-o-day"
