As I walked down the shady lane at the door I chanced to knock
Have you any pots or kettles with rusty holes to block?
Well, indeed I did, don't you know I did
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I did
The missus, she came to the door and she asked me to come in
Saying you're welcoming me, jolly dinker, and I hope you brought your tin
Well, indeed I did, don't you know I did
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I did
She led me through the kitchen and she took me through the hall
And the servants cried the devil me voice as she come to block us all
Well, indeed I did, don't you know I did
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I did
She led me up the stairs, me boys, to show me what to do
And she fell on the feather bed and I fell on me too
Well, indeed I did, don't you know I did
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I did
She then picked up a flying man and she said
She began to knock, could have left the servants only boys
And I was at me work, well, indeed I was
Don't you know I was
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I was
She put her hand into her pocket and she pulled a twenty pound
Saying take this me, jolly dinker, and we'll have another round
Well, indeed we will, don't you know we will
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed we do
Oh, I've been a jolly dinker for this forty years or more
Oh, but such a lovely job as that I never did before
Well, indeed I did, don't you know I did
To who my rifle lure laddie? Well, indeed I did
Oh, I've been a jolly dinker for this forty years or more
Oh, indeed I did
Well, indeed I did
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
