chorus: Di' ye ken Elsie Marley, honey
The wife that sells
the barley,honey
She lost her pocket and all her money
A-back o' the
bush in the garden, honey
Elsie Marley's grown so fine
She won't get up to serve the
swine
But lies in bed till eight or nine
And surely she does take her
time.
Elsie Marley is so neat
It's hard for one to walk the street
But every
lad and lass they meet
Cries "Di' ye ken Elsie Marley, honey?"
Elsie Marley wore a
straw hat
But now she's getten a velvet cap
The Lambton lads mun pay for that
Di' ye
ken Elsie Marley, honey?
Elsie keeps rum, gin and ale
In her house below the
dale
Where every tradesman, up and down
Does call and spend his
half-a-crown.
The farmers as they cum that way
They drink with Elsie every
day
And call the fiddler for to play
The tune of Elsie Marley, honey.
The
pitmen and the keelmen trim
They drink Bumbo made of gin
And for to dance they do
begin
To the tune of Elsie Marley, honey.
Those gentlemen who go so
fine
They'll treat her with a bottle of wine
And freely they'll sit down and
dine
Along with Elsie Marley, honey.
So to conclude those lines I've
penn'd
Hoping there's none I do offend
And thus my merry joke does end
Concerning
Elsie Marley, honey.
from Songs of Northern England, Stokoe
