Twas Within A Furlong by L’arpeggiatta
Twas Within A Furlong
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Am
'Twas within a furlong
E Am
Of Edinborough Town
C
In the rosy time of year
G C
When the grass was down
G
Bonny Jocky blithe and gay
Dm E7
Said to Jenny making hay
Am Dm Am
"Let’s sit a little, dear
E E7
And prattle. 'Tis a sultry day"
C
He long had courted
E E7
The black-brown maid
Am
But Jocky was a wag
E E7
And would ne'er consent to wed
Am G
Which made her pish and pooh
C E
And cry out "It will not do
Am Dm Am
I cannot, cannot, cannot
Dm Am E Am
Wonnot, wonnot buckle to"
[Verse 2]
Am
He had told her marriage
E Am
Was grown a mere joke
C
And that no one wedded now
G C
But the scoundrel folk
G
"Yet, my dear, thou should’st prevail
Dm E
But I know not what I ail
Am Dm Am
I shall dream of clogs and silly dogs
E E7
With bottles at their tail"
C
"But I'll give thee gloves
E E7
And a bongrace to wear
Am
And a pretty filly-foal
E E7
To ride out and take the air"
Am G
"If thou ne'er wil't pish and pooh
C E
And cry 'It ne'er will do'
Am Dm Am
I cannot, cannot, cannot
Dm Am E Am
Wonnot, wonnot buckle to"
[Verse 3]
Am
"That you'll give me trinkets,"
E Am
Cried she, "I believe"
C
"But, ah! What at every time
G C
Must your poor Jenny give"
G
"When my maiden treasure’s gone
Dm E
I must gang to London Town
Am Dm Am
And roar and rant, and patch and paint
E E7
And kiss for half-a-crown"
C
"Each drunken bully
E E7
Oblige for pay
Am
And earn a hated living
E E7
In an odious, fulsome way"
Am G
"No, no, no, it ne’er shall do
C E
For a wife I'll be to you
Am Dm Am
Or I cannot, cannot, cannot
Dm Am E Am
Wonnot, wonnot buckle to"
"Or I cannot, cannot, cannot
Wonnot, wonnot buckle to"
"Or I cannot, cannot, cannot
Wonnot, wonnot buckle to"
