• Jolly Waggoner/Banish Misfortune

When first I went a-waggoning, a-waggoning did go
It filled me poor old parents' hearts with sorrow, grief and woe
And many were the hardships that I did undergo

Chorus:
Sing woah, me lads, sing woah
Drive on, my lads, drive on
Who wouldn't be for all the world a jolly waggoner?

It is a cold and stormy night, I'm wet near to me skin
But I'll bear it with contentment until I get to the inn
And there I'll sit a-drinking with the landlord and his kin

Chorus

Now summer is a-coming on, what pleasures we shall see!
The small birds they'll be singing high up on every tree
The blackbirds and the thrushes, a-whistling merrily

Chorus

Now Michaelmas is coming on, what pleasures we shall see!
I'll make the gold to fly, me boys, like chaff before the breeze!
And every lad shall take his lass and sit her on his knee

Chorus

Well things is greatly altered now since wagons here was seen
The world's turned topsy-turvy, lads, and things is run by steam!
And the whole world passes before me just like a morning dream

Chorus (x2)
