Martin Carthy - Three Jolly Sneaksmen lyrics

Three jolly sneaksmen they all went out To rob and to plunder without any doubt Coach and six come riding by Stop stop coachman they all did cry (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day Three jolly sneaksmen they come to the coach Three pretty fair maids there they did approach Three pretty maids cries what shall we do Give us all your money and we won't hurt you (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day Five hundred pounds they have got in gold Five hundred pounds such a sight to behold Silver topped cane and a gold lace cap Such a fine haul for the sneaksmen to snap (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day Three jolly sneaksmen in Hyde Park Street Three blue-coated gentlemen they happened for to meet Tap em on the shoulder one two three Three jolly sneaksmen come along a me (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day Sizes and sessions are soon drawing near Three jolly sneaksmen at the bar appear Judge casts around with a rolling eye Three jolly sneaksmen bound for to die (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day Three jolly sneaksmen mount the gallows tree Jack Ketch he come along just as soon as they Took all their togs and their rhino too Three jolly sneaksmen bid the world adieu (Sing) Whack fol the day Diddle ol the day Whack fol the doll o Diddle ol the day
