Captain Wedderburn Lyrics - Turn - Great Big Sea

A nobleman's fair daughter went down a narrow lane 

And met with Captain Wedderburn, the keeper of the game 

Now my pretty fair miss, if it wasn't for the law 

You and I in a bed might lie, roll me over next to the wall 

Roll me over next to the wall 

Now, my dear good man, do not be perplexed 

Before that you might bed with me, you must answer questions six 

Six questions you will answer me and I will ask them all 

And you and I in a bed might lie, roll me over next to the wall 

Roll me over next to the wall 

What is rounder than a ring, and higher than the trees? 

And what is worse than a woman's curse and what is deeper than the sea? 

Which bird sings first, which one best? Where does the dew first fall? 

And you and I in a bed might lie, roll me over next to the wall 

Roll me over next to the wall 

The earth is rounder than a ring and heaven is higher than the trees 

The devil is worse than a woman's curse and hell is deeper than the sea 

The lark sings first and the thrush sings best 

And the earth is where the dew falls 

And you and I in a bed must lie, roll me over next to the wall 

Roll me over next to the wall
