In case you need a reminder.....Tim R Up to the Rigs (As sung by Harry Cox and Tony Rose - and me.....) Up to London City on one fine day It was up Cheapside I made my way A fair pretty maid I chanced for to meet And with kisses her I there did greet Chorus I was up to the rigs, down to the jigs Up to the rigs of London Town She took me to some house of fame And so boldly then did enter in Loudly for supper she did call A-thinking I was going to pay for it all The supper being over and the table cleared The waiters brought white wine and beer The waiters brought white wine and red And the chambermaid prepared the bed Between the hours of one and two She asked me if to bed I'd go Immediately I did consent And along with this pretty maid I went Her cheeks were white and her lips were red And I kissed her as she lay in bed; But as soon as she fell fast asleep Then it's out of her bed then I did creep I searched her pockets and there I found A silver snuffbox and ten pound A golden watch and a diamond ring So I took the lot and locked the lady in So come all young men wherever you may be: If you meet a pretty girl you use her free You use her free but don't get drunk; Just remember me when I was up Cheapside
