'''Riding Down to Portsmouth'''

[[Roud 1534]]

version from [[Tom Willett]] - as sung on ''[[The Roving Journeymen (LP)|The Roving Journeymen]]'' (Topic LP)

#Now as I was a riding along in the heighth of my glory Now as I was a riding along, you shall hear of my story Then I fell in love with a fair pretty maid And I asked her if she'd go along with me Some pleasure and some pastimes to see We’re a riding down to Portsmouth 
#Now sailor if I go along with you, then it's I must be carried Now sailor if I go along with you, then it's I must be married Then she slept all in my arms all that night And she gave me what was ten times worse She left me all the reckonings to pay We're a riding down to Portsmouth 
#Oh Landlord tell me what there is to pay, for I might be missing Oh Landlord tell me what there is to pay, for I night be a jogging For she's robbed me of my gold watch and purse And she gave me what was ten times worse Now landlord don't you think I'm under a curse We're a riding down to Portsmouth 
#Saying damn me to myself, now I've paid for my kissing Saying damn me to myself, now I've paid for my learning Now my horse I shall leave you in pawn And I bet you through the wars I'll return And all gallus girls I will shun And I'll ride no more to Portsmouth.
