London Town

Up London city I made my way

Up Cheapside I chanced to stray

Where a fair pretty maid I there did meet

And I greeted her with kisses sweet

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

She took me to some house of sin

And boldly then she entered in

Loudly for supper she did call

Thinking that I would pay for it all

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

The supper o'er, the table cleared

The waiter brought white wine and red

The waiter brought white wine and red

And the chambermaid prepared a bed

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Between the hours of one and two

She asked me if to bed I'd go

Immediately I did consent

And along with this pretty maid then I went

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Her cheeks were white, her lips were red

I kissed her as she lay in bed

As soon as she was fast asleep

Out of the bed I did creep

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs...

I searched her pockets and there I found

A silver snuff-box and ten pound

A golden watch and a diamond ring

So I took the lot and I locked her in

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Come all young men and listen to me

If you meet a pretty girl then use her free

Use her free but don't get pied

Remember me when I was up Cheapside

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town

Up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London town!
