lirik lagu a. l. lloyd - the butcher and the chambermaid
it’s of a brisk young butcher, as i have heard him say
he arrived at an inn in newcastle, all on a market day
he called for liquor of the best, being but a roving blade
and pleasantly his eye set upon the chambermaid
he called her for a candle to light him up to bed
and when she come into the room, these words to her he said
a golden sovereign i’ll give all to enjoy your charms.”
so all that night this maid she rolled all in the butcher’s arms
it was early in the next morning, he rose to go away
says the landlord ‘here’s the reckoning bill that you forgot to pay.’
“oh no, sir,” says the butcher, “you need not think it strange
one sovereign i have gave your maid and i haven’t got the change.”
they called the pretty chambermaid, and charged her with the same
and the golden sovereign she laid down, for fear she’d get the blame
the butcher than went home he did, and laughed at what had passed
but little did he think this maid would have revenge at last
it was a twelve months after when he come to town again
and there as he had done before; he stopped at the same inn
it was then the pretty chambermaid, she happened him to see
and she brought a child just three months old and set it on his knee
the butcher then did wonder much and at that kid did stare
but when the joke he did find out how he did stamp and swear
she says “kind sir, it tis your own, you needn’t think it strange’
one sovereign you gave to me and here i’ve brought your change.”
and to the judge she made him go, who happend to live near
it cost him nigh on a hundred pound before he could get
clear
so all you brisk, and frol!cking lads, with a mind to ramble, and rage
if you sport with chambermaids, you are sure to get your change
