Lyrics
I will sing you a song, and a very pretty one
Concerning Creeping Jane, oh
Why, she never saw a mare or a gelding in her life
That she volleyed to the water butterfinger all the day, oh
The diddle all the day, oh
Why, she never saw a mare or a gelding in her life
That she volleyed to the water butterfinger all the day
When Creeping Jane on the racecourse came
The gentlemen, they all hollered loud, oh
And all they had to say concerning little Jane
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground all the day, oh
The diddle all the day, oh
And all they had to say concerning little Jane
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground all the day
Now when that they came to the second milepost
Creeping Jane, she was far behind, oh
Then the rider threw his whip around upon his little neck
And he said, "My little lassie, never mind" all the day, oh
The diddle all the day, oh
Then the rider threw his whip around upon his little neck
And he said, "My little lassie, never mind" all the day
Now when that they came to the third milepost
Creeping Jane, she looked blind and small, oh
And then she lifted up her little lily-white foot
And she flew past them all like a dart all the day, oh
The diddle all the day, oh
And then she lifted up her little lily-white foot
And she flew past them all like a dart all the day
Now Creeping Jane, she's a great chance one
And scarcely sweats one drop, oh
Why, she's able for to gallop the ground o'er again
While the others is not able for to trot all the day
Now Creeping Jane, she's her bedster gone
And her body lies on the cold ground, oh
I'll go down to her master, one favour for to beg
That he keep her little body from the hounds all the day, oh
The diddle all the day, oh
I'll go down to her master, one favour for to beg
That he keep her little body from the hounds all the day
