Captain Wedderburn (Live)

Lyrics

A noblemen's fair daughter
 Came down a narrow lane.
 And met with Captain Wedderburn,
 The keeper of the game
 Now my pretty fair miss
 If it wasn't for the law,
 You and I in the bed might lie
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Now, my dear good man, she said
 Do not be perplexed
 Before that you might bed with me
 You must answer questions six.
 Six questions you must answer me,
 And I will ask them all
 And you and I in the bed might lie
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
 What is rounder than a ring,
 And higher than the trees?
 And what is worse than a woman's curse,
 And what is deeper than the sea?
 What bird sings first, which one's best?
 Where does the dew first fall
 And you and I in a bed might lie
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
 The earth is rounder than a ring,
 And heaven is higher than the trees,
 The devil is worse than a woman's curse,
 And hell in deeper than the sea
 The lark sings first, the thrush sings best,
 Earth is where the dew falls
 And you and I in a bed must lie
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
 He takes her by her lily-white hand
 And leads her down the hall
 And he takes her by her slender waist
 For fear that she might fall
 And he lays her on a bed of down
 Without a doubt at all
 And he and she lie in one bed
 Roll me over next to the wall
 And she and he lie in one bed
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
 Roll me over next to the wall
