Verse 1
Oh, (G major) shut the door (C major) af ter me, pull off the (G major) bool,
I'll blow out the (D major) candle for the (A major) best of you (D major) all.
(G major) And all (C major) the world shall ne
'er me (A minor) persuade,
But that I'm a maid,
(G major) and a very good maid.
Tis a known (C major) maxim from
ages long tracked,
(G major) A chambermaid's simple
(D major) unless she be cracked.
And (G major) all the (C major) world shall (A minor) ne 'er me persuade,
But that I'm a (G major) maid, and
a very good maid.
Although my (C major) maidenhead
sporting (G major) took flight,
And with heaving and thrust
(D major) ing I bid it good night,
(G major) Yet all (C major) the world shall ne
'er me (A minor) persuade,
But that I'm a maid,
(G major) and a very good maid.
For I still can re (C major) gain it and sell it once (G major) more
To some fop in the city who
(A major) knocks at my (D major) door
And (G major) all the (C major) world shall (A minor) ne 'er me persuade
But that I'm (G major) a maid and a very good maid
The famous (C major) matrons of
Whetstone (G major) will tell
That they can a maid
(D major) enhead six (A major) ty times (D major) sell
And (G major) all the (C major) world shall (A minor) ne 'er me persuade,
But that I'm a (G major) maid, and
a very good maid.
And if I be (C major) clapped,
then what do I (G major) care?
Some country (D major) clown will
come (A major) into my (D major) lair.
(G major) Then all (C major) the world shall
(A minor) ne 'er me persuade,
But that (G major) I'm a maid,
and a very good maid.
And though I (C major) do deal
with the blades (G major) of the town,
A squire to
(D major) Venus should (A major) tumble me (D major) down,
Then (G major) all the (C major) world shall (A minor) ne 'er me persuade,
But that I'm a (G major) maid, and a
very good maid.
When cook (C major) -maids by prentices oft are (G major) beguiled,
They're packed to the (D major) country when
pregnant with child,
Yet (G major) after (C major) de livery (A minor) none them persuades,
But that they are maidens
(G major) past current for maids.
For after their (C major) smatch to trading (G major) they fall,
Set up with a (D major) maidenhead,
(A major) comma, to (D major) all,
(G major) And all (C major) the world shall ne 'er me (A minor) persuade,
But that they are (G major) maids,
and very good maids.
There's (C major) none above fifteen, but if
they're (G major) put to it
Although they (D major) deny you,
we'll willingly do it
There (G major) fore no (C major) gallant shall
(A minor) e 'er me persuade
But that as (G major) maids go, I'm a very good maid
