As I was walking out one day,
A pretty maid did glance my way,
Soon we’z rolling in the hay,
Down in the Valleys.
Now, she can’t write and she can’t read,
But she knows ’bout the birds and bees,
I know that ‘cause she taught me,
Down in the Valleys.
[chorus] She’s a Valleys Girl, She’s a Valleys Girl,
Gloucestershire lass.
She comes from Stroud, And I be proud,
Seem to be, She fancies me!
She’s a Gloucestershire lass.
We sat ‘neath an apple tree,
I kissed her and she kissed me,
That’s the way ‘tis meant to be,
Down in the Valleys.
Now she said we was over-dressed,
So I stripped off my string vest,
You can guess what happened next,
Down in the Valleys.
[chorus]
Now, she said she was getting plump,
Think I got her ‘up the Clump’,
Her dad fetched me quite a thump,
Down in the Valley.
So, we wuz married pretty soon,
Wedding feast by summer moon,
Then we spend our honeymoon,
Down in the Valleys.
[chorus]
She’s a Valleys Girl, She’s a Valleys Girl,
A Gloucestershire lass.
She comes from Stroud, And I be proud,
Seem to be, She’s married me!
She’s my Gloucestershire lass.
