Aye Sir, Aye

Words and Music: Traditional
(Recorded by Tom Lewis on Mixed Cargo)

You went for a walk, sir? Aye sir, aye.
And you did the same sir? No sir, no.
You did, did you not sir? Aye sir, aye.
It's true is it not sir? No sir, no.

One says: "Aye" and the other says: "No",
we are four jolly lads all in a row,
In a row, in a row, we are four jolly lads all in row

You met a fair maiden? Aye sir, aye.
And you did the same sir? No sir, no.
You did, did you not sir? Aye sir, aye.
It's true is it not sir? No sir, no.

She's having a baby? No sir, no.
She is, is she not sir? Aye sir, aye.
It's true is it not sir? No sir, no.
He cannot deny sir? Aye sir, aye.

Will you buy the round sir? No sir, no.
And how about you sir? No sir, no.
You will, will you not sir? No sir, no.
Not one little drop sir? No sir, no.

One says: "No" and the other says: "No",
we are four thirsty lads all in a row,
In a row, in a row,
If no-one will treat us then we'll have to go!
