Captain Wedderburn

A nobleman's fair daughter went down a narrow lane,
And met with Capatain Wedderburn, the keeper of the game.
"Now, my pretty, fair miss, if it wasn't for the law
then you and I in a bed might lie, "
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
"Now my dear, good man. Do not be perplexed.
Before that you might bed with me, you must answer questions six.
Six questions you will answer me, and I will ask them all.
And you and I in a bed might lie,"
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
"What is rounder than a ring? An' what is higher than the trees?
What is worse than a woman's curse? And what is deeper than the seas?
Which bird sings first, which one best? Where does the dew first fall?
And you and I in a bed might lie,"
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
"Earth is rounder than a ring. Heaven is higher than the trees.
The Devil is worse than a woman's curse. And Hell is deeper than the seas.
The lark sings first, and the thrush sings best, and the earth is where the dew falls.
Now you and I in a bed MUST lie,"
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
He takes her by the lilly-white hand and he leads her down the hall.
He takes her by the slender waist, for fear that she might fall.
He lays her on a bed of down with out a doubt at all.
And He and She lie in one bed, roll me over next to the wall.
She and He lie in one bed, roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall,
Roll me over next to the wall
