Verse 1
Db
As I once came to Tottingham
Ab
upon a market day
Db
Ab
Db
Was there I met with a bonnie lass,
Ab
a clothe at all in grey
Her journey was to London
with butter, milk and whey
To come down, down, down, down,
Db
Gb
Ab
Gb
down, down, down
Ab
Db
And so he spoke to this fair lass,
Ab
Db
Sweetheart, you're well o 'ertook.
With that she cast her head aside,
Ab
Db
And gave to him a look.
Ab
Then presently this young pair,
Both hands together shook,
To come down, down, down, down,
Db
Gb
Ab
Gb
Ab
Db
down -a -down -a -down.
And as they rode along the way,
Ab
Db
together side by side,
The maiden it so chanced,
Ab
Db
her garter was untied,
Ab
For fear that she should lose it,
Look here, sweetheart," he cried,
Your garter's down, down, down,
Db
Gb
Ab
Gb
down, down.
Ab
Db
Good sir, then quote the maiden fair,
Ab
Db
I pray you take the pain
To do a favour unto me
Ab
Db
And take it up again.
Ab
With the right goodwill the
young man spoke,
When I come to yonder plain,
Db
Ab
I will take you down, down, down,
Db
Gb
Ab
Db
Gb
down, down.
Ab
Db
And when they came unto the place
Ab
Db
upon the grass so green,
The maid she held her leg so wide,
Ab
the young man slipped between,
Db

Such tying of a garter
you have but seldom seen,
To come down, down, down, down,
Db

down, down, down.
Ab
Db
And thus, sweet Tibb of Tottingham,
Ab
Db
She lost her maiden head,
But yet it is no matter,
For it stood her in small stead,
Ab
For it did often trouble her
As she lay in her bed
To come down, down, down, down,
Db
Gb
Ab
Gb
Ab
down -a, down -a, down.
Db
You maidens, wives, and widows,
Ab
that now do hear my song,
Db
Ab
Db
When young men proffer kindness,
Ab
Db
pray take it short or long,
Ab
For there is no such comfort
as lying with a man
Ab
Time to come down, down, down, down,
Db
Ab
down, down, down.
