| They call the Rose and Crown | B |
| Quite suddenly it seemed to me | C |

| And shiny was His face | A |
| And I was filled with gush of love | D |
| For all the human race | A |

| Anon I saw three ancient men | E |
| Who reckoned not of bliss | A |

| They had me up before the beak | G |
| But though I told my tale | H |
| He sentanced me to spend a week | G |
| In Yard of Scotland Gaol | H |
| So when they kindly set me free | C |
| Please don't think it amiss | A |
| If Battling Bill of Battersea | A |
| For love of all humanity | C |
| Gives you a kiss | A |
