I met a girl in Portland St
Fol-de-lol fol-de-lol fol-de lol-lol day
I met a girl in Portland st
With a fol-de-lol-day, fol-de-lol-day, fol-de-lol-lol-de-lol-de-lol-day
This girl I met in in Portland St
Was the sweetest girl I ever did meet
Says I, Me girl how do you do
Says she, the worse for seeing of you
Now miss says I, I like your style
Says she, young man, just wait a while
Just wait until you try and play
And then I’ll send you on your way
I took her hand into my own
And we headed soon for her old home
And in her room, not far away
We drank until the break of day
I pulled her down on my lap
Says she young man your face I’ll slap
On her ankle next I placed my hand
Says she for this I will not stand
I pulled her dress above her knee
Says she young man please let me be
