[G]
A nobleman's fair daughter went [C] down [D] narrow lane
[G] Met with Captain Wedderburn, the keeper of the game
Now my pretty fair miss, if it [C] wasn't [D] for the law
[G] You and I in a bed might [C] lie
Roll [D] me over next [G] to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall
Dear [C] [G]
good man, [C] do not be [D]
[G] perplexed
Before you might bed with me
You must [D] answer question [G] six
Six questions you will answer me
[C] And I will ask them [D]
all
[G] And you and I in a bed might [C] lie
Roll [D] me over next [G] to the wall
[C] Roll [D] me over next to [G] the wall
[C] Now [G]
what is rounder than a ring
[C] And higher than [D] the [G] trees
And what is worse than a woman's curse
[C] And [D] what is deeper [G] than the sea
And which bird sings first, which one best
[C] Where does the dew [D] first fall
[G] And you and I
[C] Roll [D] me over [G] next to the wall
[C] Roll [D] me over next [G] to the wall

[G] Earth is rounder than a ring
[Cm] And heaven is higher than the [D] trees
[G] The devil is worse than a woman's curse
[C] And [D] hell is deeper [G] than the sea
The lark sings first and the thrush sings best
And [C] the earth is where [G] the dew falls
And you and I in a bed must lie
[C]
Roll me [D] over next [G] to the wall
[C] Roll [D] me over [G] next to the wall
[C]
[G]
It takes her by her lily white hand
[C] And leads her down the [D] hall
[G] Takes her by her slender waist
For [Em] [Bm] fear that she [G] might fall
He lays her on a bed of [C] down
Without a doubt [D] at all
[G] He and she lie in one bed
Roll [D] me over next [G] to the wall
She and he lie in one bed
[C]
Roll me [D] over next [G] to the wall
[C] Roll [D] me over next [G] to the wall
Roll me [D] over [G] next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll [C]

me over [C]

next to the wall
