[Verse 1]
A# D# A#
Come gather round you diggers who work the goldfields rare,
A# D# F
It's of a trick was played on me which caused me to despair,
A# D# F
I came to town the other day me precious gold to trade,
A# D# F A#
'Twas there I met a pretty maid, who did my heart betray.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 2]
A# D# A#
We went into a public house and there we did imbibe,
A# D# F
In whiskey and strong porter, and dreadful stuff besides,
A# D# F
It's then she asked me up to bed, to which I did agree,
A# D# F A#
But truth to tell I fell asleep, before she earned her fee.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 3]
A# D# A#
When I awoke next morning, no trousers could I find,
A# D# F
But scattered all around the room were women's clothes so fine.
A# D# F
My jacket, shoes and gold had gone, and all that's left behind,
A# D# F A#
Is a woman's dress, a yellow wig and a shaving kit, not mine.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 4]
A# D# A#
Why did she need the wig? Why did she need to shave?
A# D# F
It's then the truth it struck me, in a fit of blinding rage.
A# D# F
My pretty maid's a man I cried, thanks be I fell asleep,
A# D# F A#
I'd rather lose a bag of gold, than wake up with that creep.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 5]
A# D# A#
To venture in the street again, I cautiously inclined,
A# D# F
I had a shave, put on the wig, and wore the dress so fine,
A# D# F
And as I walked along the street, a digger gave a wink.
A# D# F A#
I thought of all the gold he had, and offered him a drink.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
[Verse 6]
A# D# A#
Now you may think it sinful, oh you may think it bold,
A# D# F
To take advantage of the lads who struggle for the gold.
A# D# F
It's easy putting on a dress and drinking whiskey neat,
A# D# F A#
But leave your shaving kit behind when they are fast asleep.
[Chorus]
D# A# F
Her lips were red as roses, her eyes a deep sky blue,
A# D# F A#
Her hair as yellow as the gold, she stole from me and you.
