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