Kate Rusby - Game of all Fours (with lyrics) video free download

first song from the album ' The Girl who couldn't Fly'

As I was out walking one midsummer's morning

To hear the birds whistle and the nightengales play

It's there that I met a beautiful maiden

As I was a-walking along the highway

"Where are you going my fair pretty lady?

Where are you going so early this morn?"

She answered "Kind sir, to visit me neighbors

I'm going down to Lincoln, the place I was born."

"May I go with you my fair pretty lady?

May I go along in your sweet company?"

She turned her head round and smiling all at me

Said "You may come with me kind sir if you please."

We hadn't been walking a few miles together

Before this young damsel began to show free

She sat herself down, saying "Sit down beside me

The game we shall play will be one two and three."

I said "Me dear lady, if you're fond of the gaming

There's one game I know we would like you to learn

The game it is called The Game of All Fours"

So I took out me pack and began the first turn

She cut the cards and I fell to dealing

I dealt her a trump and meself the poor jack

She led off her ace and stole the jack from me

Saying"Jack is the card I like best in your pack"

"I dealt the last time, it's your turn to shuffle

My turn to show the best card in the pack

Once more she'd the ace, and juice for to beat me

Once more I lost when I laid down poor jack

So I took up me hat, and I bid her good morning

I said "You're the best that I know at this game"

She answered "Young man, come back tomorrow

We'll play the game over and over and over

and over and over and over again.
