Down By The Old Village Pump 1934

There's an old village pump
where two lovers meet,
it's just at the end
of an old cobbled street,
they go through each day
for their water supply
their love for each other
will never run dry.

Sweet Mary Ann,
meets her young man
down by the old village pump.
A bundle of charm,
with a pail on her arm,
down by the old village pump.
The old pump handle's
swinging to and fro,
swinging to and fro
and when the lights are low
he tells her the tale,
as she fills up her pail
down by the old village pump.

Sweet Mary Ann,

A bundle of charm,
with a pail on her arm,
down by the old village pump.
The old pump handle's
swinging to and fro,
swinging to and fro
and when the lights are low
he tells her the tale,
as she fills up her pail
down by the old village pump.

What a long time he takes,
he's slow as a snail,
at filling her pail
with that old Adam's Ale,
he pumps her to learn
if she loves him or not,
till an old Jersey cow comes
and drinks up the lot.

and when the lights are low
he tells her the tale,
as she fills up her pail
down by the old village pump.

he tells her the tale,
as she fills up her pail
