A nobleman's fair daughter went 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 a bed might lie"
Roll me over next to the wall
Roll me over next to the wall

"Now, my dear good man, do not be perplexed;
Before that you might bed with me,
You must answer questions six.
Six questions you will answer me,
And I will ask them all,
And you and I in a 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?
Which bird sings first, which one 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 is deeper than the sea
The lark sings first and the thrush sings best
And the 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.
He takes her by her slender waist for fear that she might fall.
And 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 he and she 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
