I saddled my horse and galloped away
Til´I came to an ale house in town,
I called for some ale at the end of the day,
And here the first sat down.
And I had in my pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I had
I called for some ale at the end of the day
But penny was all that I had
I saw there two gentlemen playing at dice
They took me for a soldier bold
With my swagger and rapier and countenance nice
Thought my pockets were lined with gold
And I had in my pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I had
With my swagger and rapier and countenance nice
But penny was all that I had
?oh soldier dear sir? they said ?do you play??
?what stakes do you lay down??
One said a guinea we´re meaning to play.
I said:? let´s lay down five pound?.
And I had in my pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I had
One said a guinea we´re meaning to play
But penny was all that I had
I took up dice and threw them the main
The night was free from curse
The heavens I thanked for I managed to gain
For I there down a moneyless purse.
And I had in my pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I had
The heavens I thanked for I managed to gain
But penny was all that I had
Was ever a mortal as quarter as glad,
Courage galore in my spine
With the littlest money that first I had
Now I pray you to pour out the wine
And I had in my pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I had
With the littlest money that first I had
But penny was all that I had
