I've Got Sixpence
By someone
I've got sixpence I've got no pence
Jolly. jolly sixpence Jolly. jolly no pence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life I've got no pence to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend I've got no pence to spend
And twopence to lend And no pence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife-poor wife. And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife.
Chorus:
No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girls to deceive me Mountain Dew
I'm happy as a lark believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home My brother Bill runs a still on the hill
Rolling home (rolling home) Where he turns out a gallon or two
Rolling home (rolling home) And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can
By the light of the silvery moo-oo-on not fly
Happy is the day when we line up forour pay Just from sniffing that good old mountain dew.
As we go rolling, rolling home.
Chorus
I've got fourpence They call it that good old mountaindew,
Jolly, jolly fourpence And them that refuse it are few.
I've got fourpence to last me all my life I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
I've got twopence to spend With that good old mountain dew.
And twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife. My aunt Lucille had an automobile,
It ran on a gallon or two.
I've got twopence It didn't need nogas and it didn't need no oil,
Jolly, jolly twopence
It just ran on that good old mountain dew.
I've got twopence to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend
Repeat chorus
And no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife.
