Intro X1

Now, my dear good man she said, do not be perplexed

before that you might bed with me you must answer questions six

six questions you must answer me, I will ask them all

then you and I in a bed might lie, roll me over next to the wall,

ah-roll me over next to the wall

Intro X2

What is rounder than a ring, and higher than the trees?

what is worse than a woman's curse and what is deeper than the sea?

Which bird sings first, which one best, where does the dew first fall?,

then you and I in a bed might lie, roll me over next to the wall

ah-roll me over next to the wall

Bm G Bm G Bm G D Bm G D | Intro x1

the earth is rounder than a ring, and heaven is higher than the trees,

the devil is worse than a woman's curse and hell is deeper than the sea

the lark sings first, the thrush sings best, the earth is where

the dew falls first, and you and I in a bed must lie,

ah-roll me over next to the wall, ah-roll me over next to the wall

Intro X2

He takes her by her lily-white hand, Leads her down the hall,

he takes her by her slender waist for fear that she might fall

he lays her on a bed of down without a doubt at all, now

he and she lie in one bed, ah-roll me over next to the wall

she and he lie in one bed, ah-roll me over next to the wall

roll me over next to the wall, roll me over next to the wall

Intro X2, End on D
