Classic Poem

1.

As Jack walked out of London city, no one on Jack to take pity,
As Jack walked out of London city, no one on Jack to take pity,
Jack thought he heard the people say that in the streets he'd have to lay.
A whang dang diddle-de-dang, fol-lo-day.

2.

There was a squire who lived quite handy, he courted the lawyer's daughter Nancy,
He courted her both night and day, and agreed with her one night to lay.

" I'll tie a string around my finger and hang it out of the chamber window,
You come up and pull the string, and I'll come down and let you in. "

4.

She tied a string around her finger and hung it out her chamber window,
Jack came up and pulled the string, and she came down and let him in.

5.

She slipped the string from off her finger, but it dangled from her chamber window,
The squire came up and pulled the string; the string was pulled, but he
couldn't get in.

6.

To give the squire a friendly warning, she arose at daylight the next morning,
There she saw Jack in a striped shirt, his face and hands all covered with dirt.

7.

" How come you here, you saucy fellow? You've broke my house-hold and robbed me of my treasure. "
" I came up and pulled the string, and you came down and let me in. "
