pretty one
           G        A
Concerning Creeping Jane
    D           G          D
She never saw a mare nor a gelding 
in her life
         G             D          
That she valued at the worth of 
          A       D
half a pin, lal the day

When Creeping Jane on the racecourse
 came
              G            A
The gentlemen giggled all around
    D               G       D
And all they had to say, concerning 
little Jane
          G           D           
She's not able for to gallop o'er 
            A       D
the ground, lal the day
              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

        G     A
She was far behind
         D               G     D
Then the rider flung his whip around
 her little neck
       G                D         
And he says, "Me little lady, 
         A       D
never mind", lal the day
              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

Now when that they came to the third
 milepost
           G          A
She looked blithe and smart
    D               G    
And then she lifted up her 
  D
lily-white hoof
    G              D              
And flew past them all like a 
  A       D
dart, lal the day
              A   D

Now Creeping Jane the race has won
             G         A
And scarcely sweat one drop
      D           G               
She's able for to gallop o'er the 
D
ground all again
    G              D              
The others are not able for to

Now Creeping Jane is dead and gone
              G           A
Her body lies on the cold ground
     D              G         
I'll go down to her master, one 
  D
favour for to beg
   G               D           
To keep her little body from the 
          A       D
hounds, lal the day
