Tinker Behind The Door
In London town where I do dwell
A buxom lass I know quite well
In London town where I do dwell
A buxom lass I know quite well
A servant to a gentleman
A tinker came to her to sell her a pan
All to kettle fol little fol ay dee oh
Whack fol little fol ay dee oh
The gentleman being out one day
The tinker came here to sport and play
The gentleman being out one day
The tinker came here to sport and play
He got this maid behind the door
And gently laid her on the floor
All to kettle fol little fol ay dee oh
Whack fol little fol ay dee oh
The joke being over and for his pan
She slipped him twenty guineas in hand
The joke being over and for his pan
She slipped him twenty guineas in hand
Saying, "If you pass this way again
My kettle is ready to boil the same."
All to kettle fol little fol ay dee oh
Whack fol little fol ay dee oh
"The landlord will get me a pot of good beer
For twenty guineas I have got here
The landlord will get me a pot of good beer
For twenty guineas I have got here."
"Your money is good, my liquor is fine
You must stay here with me and dine."
All to kettle fol little fol ay dee oh
Whack fol little fol ay dee oh
It was not long so I've been told
The tinker used up all his gold
It was not long so I've been told
The tinker used up all his gold
He's got to do as he did before
Go boil the kettle behind the door
All to kettle fol little fol ay dee oh
Whack fol little fol ay dee oh
