| I’d lost all the breath within me
|
| As I went up on the hill
|
| When there she was, with a sad expression
|
| Saying, oh my name is Jill
|
| And I can’t find how to get some water
|
| Can you help me? |
| Say you will!
|
| For your time I will reward you
|
| And you know I surely will
|
| How could I refuse a lady
|
| When she’d put it quite so well?
|
| There was I in a situation
|
| With no-one around to tell
|
| So all that day, I put some water
|
| In the bucket by the well
|
| When she smiled, I felt her harder
|
| But on the way I fell… down
|
| Down — right down the bottom
|
| Ooh ooh ooh — right down the bottom
|
| I didn’t mind spilling all the water
|
| If I’d satisfied myself
|
| There the time didn’t really matter
|
| It could have been somebody else
|
| She would say I will reward you
|
| And even thought it cost a crown
|
| Now I find my life is sweeter
|
| Every time I fall down…
|
| So all that day, I put some water
|
| In the bucket by the well
|
| When she smiled, I felt her harder
|
| But on the way I fell… fell… fell… fell…
|
| Down — right down the bottom
|
| Ooh ooh ooh — right down the bottom |
