There Was An Old Couple Lived Under The Hill,
Blunt It Was Their Name-o,
They Had Good Beer And Ale For To Sell,
And It Bore A Wonderful Fame-o.

John Blunt And His Wife They Drank Of The Drink,
Till They Could Drink No More-o,
They Both Got Tired And They Went Up To Bed,
And Forgot To Bar The Door-o.

So They A Bargain Bargain Made,
Made It Strong And Sure-o,
The First Of Them Who Should Speak The First Word,
Should Get Up And Bar The Door-o.

So There Came Travellers Travellers Three,
Travelling In The Night-o,
No House No Home Nor Fire Had They,
Nor Yet No Candle Light-o.

They Went To His Cellar They Drank Up His Drink,
Until They Could Drink No More-o,
But Never A Word Did The Old Couple Speak,
For Fear Who Should Bar The Door-o.

They Went To His Larder They Ate Up His Food,
Till They Could Eat No More-o,
But Never A Word Did The Old Couple Speak,
For Fear Who Should Bar The Door-o.

They Went Up Stairs They Went To His Room,
They Broke Down The Door-o,
But Never A Word Did The Old Couple Speak,
For Fear Who Should Bar The Door-o.

They Hauled His Wife All Out Of The Bed,
Laid Her Out On The Floor-o,
Then Up Got Poor John Blunt In His Bed,
For He Could Stand No More-o.

Says: You've Eaten Me Food You've Drunk All Me Drink,
Laid Me Wife On The Floor-o,
You Spoke The First Word John Blunt She Says,
So Go Down And Bar The Door-o.
