I'll sing you a song
And a very pretty one
Concerning creeping Jane
She never saw a man nor a gelding in her life
That she valued at the worth of half a pin, loladee
Diddle on the day-o
That she valued at the worth of half a pin, loladee
Creeping Jane on the race course came
The gentlemen viewed her all around
And all they had to say
Concerning creeping Jane
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground, loladee
Diddle on the day-o
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground, loladee
Now when that they came to the second mile post
She was far behind
Then her rider flung his whip around her little neck
And he said, "Me little lady, never mind," loladee
Diddle on the day-o
And he said, "Me little lady, never mind," loladee
Now when that they came to the third mile post
She looked blithe and smart
And then she lifted up her lily white foot
And flew past them all like a dart, loladee
Diddle on the day-o
And she flew past them all like a dart, loladee
Now creeping Jane the race has won
She's scarcely sweat one drop
She's able for to gallop o'er the ground o'er again
The others are not able for to trot, loladee
Diddle on the day-o
The others are not able for to trot, loladee
Now creeping Jane is dead and gone
Her body lies on the cold ground
I'll go then to her master one favour for to pay
To keep her little body from the hounds, loladee
Diddle on the day-o
To keep her little body from the hounds, loladee
