The Jolly Waggoner versuri

Versuri Epochalypse – The Jolly Waggoner lyrics

When first I went a-waggoning, a-waggoning did go
It filled my poor old parents’ hearts with sorrow, grief,
and woe
And many were the hardships that I did undergo

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?

It is a cold and stormy night, I’m wet unto the skin
But I’ll bear it with contentment untiI I get to the inn
And there I’ll sit a-drinking with the landlord and his kin

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?

Now summer it is coming on, what pleasure we shall see!
The small birds shall be singing high up on every tree
The blackbirds and the thrushes are whistling merrily

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?

Now Michaelmas is coming, what pleasure we shall see!
I’ll make the gold to fly, my boys, like chaff before
the breeze
And every lad shall take his lass and sit her on his knee

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?

Well, things is greatly altered now since waggons here were seen
The world’s gone topsy-turvy, lads, and things is run
by steam!
And the whole world passes before me just like a morning dream

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?

Sing woah, my lads, sing woah!
Drive on, my lads, drive on!
Who wouldn’t be, for all the world, a jolly waggoner?
