I went to an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told the landlady, my money was spent
                                          C
I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay

Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright
        D                                  G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
                                           C
She says, "I have whiskey and wines of the best

And the words that I spoke were only in jest"

I go home to my parents, confess what I've done
      D                                 G
And I ask them to pardon their prodigal son
                                     C
