I've Got Sixpence

 
Sent in by Ian Ross

I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence,
I've got sixpence to last me all my life.
I've got tuppence to spend and tuppence to lend
And tuppence to send home to my wife, poor wife.

No cares have I to grieve me,
No pretty little girls to deceive me.
I'm happy as a king, believe me,
As we go rolling, rolling home.

Rolling home, (Rolling home)
Rolling home, (Rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moon.
Happy is the day when a soldier gets his pay
As we go rolling, rolling home.
