SIR ROGER OF KILDARE
(Tune. "John Brown's Body!'.

Oh, please Mother darling, may I go to the fair,
May I go with Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare?
And he loves me for my sake,
Oh, please, Mother darling may I go the fete?

Oh, yes, my darling daughter you may go the fair,
You may go with Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare,
But although he's young and handsome,
And he loves you for your sake,
Just take the bread and butter when he offers you the cake.

Oh, poor little Mabel, she went to the fair,
She went with Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare,
And he offered her some candy,
And he offered he some cake,
And it wasn't very long before her turn began to ache.

And all you young maidens, just beware, just beware,
Beware of Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare,
For there is another version,
But we've brushed it up with care,
So sing the other version - if you dare, if you dare!

She wears a silken nightie in the summer when it's hot,
She wears her red pyjamas in the winter when it's not,
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall,
She slips between the sheets with nothing on at all

Glory, glory for the summer when it's hot,
Glory, glory for the winter when it's not,
Glory for the springtime and glory for the fall,
When she slips between the sheets with nothing on at all

Oh! Sir Roger do not touch me,
Oh! Sir Roger do not touch me,
Oh! Sir Roger do not touch me,
As she lay between the sheets with nothing on at all.

She's a very naughty lady,
She's a very naughty lady,
She's a very naughty lady,
As she lay between the sheets with nothing on at all
