The Ups And Downs
As I was going to Aylesbury all on a market day
A pretty little Aylesbury girl I met upon the way
Her business was to market with butter, cheese and whey
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
As we jogged on together my boys together side by side
By chance this fair maid's garter it came untied
For fear that she might lose it I unto her did say
Your garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Your garter's come untied my love fol-der-o diddle-o-day
As we rode on together my boys to the outskirts of the town
At length this fair young damsel she stopped and looked around
O since you've been so venturesome pray tie it up for me
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day
O I will if you go to the apple grove fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And when we got to the apple grove the grass was growing high
I laid this girl upon her back her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter such sights I never did see
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And we both jogged on together my boys fol-der-o diddle-o-day
O since you've had your will of me come tell to me your name
Likewise your occupation and where and whence you came
Ma name is Mickey the drover boy from Dublin town come I
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And I live at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
And when she got to Aylesbury her butter was not sold
And the losing of her maidenhead it made her blood run cold
He's gone, he's gone, he's gone, she said, he's not the lad for me
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
For he lives at the sign of the Ups And Downs fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Los Altibajos
Mientras iba a Aylesbury en un día de mercado
Una bonita chica de Aylesbury encontré en el camino
Su negocio era vender mantequilla, queso y suero
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Mientras seguimos juntos, mis chicos lado a lado
Por casualidad, la liga de esta bella doncella se desató
Por miedo a que la perdiera, le dije
Tu liga se desató, mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Tu liga se desató, mi amor fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Mientras cabalgábamos juntos, mis chicos, hacia las afueras de la ciudad
Finalmente, esta joven doncella se detuvo y miró a su alrededor
Desde que has sido tan valiente, por favor átala por mí
Lo haré si vas al huerto de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Lo haré si vas al huerto de manzanas fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y cuando llegamos al huerto de manzanas, la hierba crecía alta
Puse a esta chica boca arriba para atar su liga
Mientras ataba su liga, nunca vi tales cosas
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y ambos seguimos juntos, mis chicos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Desde que has tenido lo que querías de mí, dime tu nombre
Así como tu ocupación y de dónde vienes
Mi nombre es Mickey, el boyero de Dublín
Y vivo en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y vivo en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Y cuando llegó a Aylesbury, su mantequilla no se vendió
Y la pérdida de su virginidad le heló la sangre
Se fue, se fue, se fue, dijo, no es el chico para mí
Porque vive en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
Porque vive en el letrero de Los Altibajos fol-der-o diddle-o-day
