[Verse 1]
GOne misty moisty morning when Dcloudy was the weather
I Gmet with an old man Dcloth-ed all in Fleather
He was Gclothed all in leather with a Dcap be - neath his chin
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 2]
GThis rustic was a thresher as Don his way he hied
And Gwith a leather bottle Dfast buckled by his Fside
GHe wore no shirt upon his back Dbut wool unto his skin
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 3]
GI went a little further and Dthere I met a maid
GA-going a-milking, a-mDilking Sir she Fsaid
Then GI began to compliment and Dshe began to sing
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 4]
GThis maid her name was Dolly cDlothed in a gown of grey
GI being somewhat jolly Dpersuaded her to Fstay
And Gstraight I fell a-courting her Din hopes her love to win
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 5]
GI having time and leisure, I Dspent a vacant hour
GA-telling of my treasure while Dsitting in the Fbower
GWith many kind embraces I Dstroke her double chin
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and how d'ya do a - gain
[Verse 6]
GI said that I would married be Dand she would be my bride
GAnd long we should not tarry and Dtwenty things Fbeside
I'll Gplough and sow and reap and mow and Dyou shall sit and spin
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 7]
GHer parents then consented, Dall parties were agreed
GHer portion thirty shillings, we Dmarried were with Fspeed
Then GWill the piper he did play whilst Dothers dance and sing
Singing… EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
[Verse 8]
GThen lusty Ralph and Robin with Dmany damsels gay
GDid ride on Roan and Dobbin to Dcelebrate the Fday
And Gwhen they met together their Dcaps they off did fling
Singing…EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
Singing…EmHow d'ya do and Ghow d'ya do and Dhow d'ya do a - Ggain
