Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Jolly Waggonner
The words to the last verse that I recall are:

Well Martinmas is coming lads and soon we'll have a spree
We'll go down to the ale house and we'll set our money free
And every lad shall have his lass and he'll have her on his knee

When ever my family get together this song is invariably sung – we even recorded it (along with 10 or so other favorites) for my father on his 75th birthday a few years ago.

None of us have experienced the life of a waggoner – it's just a great song.
