Up London City I made my way Up Cheapside I chanced to stray Where a fair pretty maid I there did meet And I greeted her with kisses sweet I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town She took me to some house of sin And boldly then she entered in And loudly for supper she did call Thinking that I would pay for it all I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town The supper over the table cleared The waiter brought white wine and red The waiter brought white wine and red And the chambermaid prepared a bed I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town Between the hours of one and two She asked me if to bed I'd go Immediately I did consent And along with this pretty maid then I went I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town Her cheeks were white, her lips were red I kissed her as she lay in bed But as soon as she was fast asleep Out of the bed then I did creep I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town I searched her pockets and there I found A silver snuff box and 10 pound A golden watch and a diamond ring Well, I took the lot and then I locked her in I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town Come all young men and listen to me If you meet a pretty girl you use her free You use her free, but don't get pied Remember me when I was up Cheapside I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs, up to the rigs of London Town
