As I went a [Am]-walkin' down London, from Wapping to Radcliffe [E] Highway,
While [A] I chanced [Am] to go into a nail house, to [E] spend a long a night [Am] and a day,
A young droxy came a-rollin' up to me, and asked if I'd a money to [E] sport,
For [Am] a bottle of wine changed a guinea, [E] and quickly a-played, [Am] that's the sort,
When the bottle was put on the table, there were glasses for [E] everyone,
[A] When I asked for the [Am] change of me guinea, she [E] tipped me the verse [Am] of a song,
This lady flew into a passion, she placed both her hands on her [E] hips,
[Am] Saying, sailor, don't you know now of fashion, do [E] you think you don't bore to be [A] a ship,
Well if this is your [Am] fashion to rob me, it's a fashion that you won't [E] avoid,
So [A] go launch out the change [Am] of me guinea, [E] and I'll give to you [A] a broadside,
[Am] Well I've got a lower tongue over the mantle, so the change of me guinea I [E] take,
[Am] And down the stairs I run nimbly, [E] saying darn me I will boot, [A] I'm well paid,
Well the night had been [Am] talking me favour, to the river I quickly [E] did creep,
[A] I got into a boat bound for [Am] Jetford, [E] got safely on board of [A] me ship,
So come all you young sailors, that rumble down [E] Radcliffe Highway,
If you [A] chance to go into [E] a nail house, be careful how long [A] lads you stay,
For the wines and the women invite [Am] you, and your heart will be all [E] in a rage,
[A] If you give to my guinea for a bottle, [E] you can go to the devil [A] for your chain.
