steeleye span – the drunkard lyrics
traditional
i will walk the streets up, i will walk the streets down
i will see the landlady dressed in a silk gown
with my elbows all out and my breeches without knees
you are the biggest vagabond that i ever did see.
where i go so raggedy and you go so fine
it’s of the good money you have took of mine
ale and tobacco for you i have paid
if i ain’t you’d have gone in your raggedy ways.
if i had a-listened to my old woman at the first
i might have had silver and gold in my purse
to maintain my wife and my children so small
but ’tis i, silly drunkard, have ruined them all.
i will c-ck up my hat as i had on before
and i’ll go home to me wife and i’ll love her no more
and the more i will beat her the more she will cry
and the more silly drunkard and blackguard am i.
