[Intro]
When I was just a lad you know,
4 5 5 4 4 5 5 4I met a gal from old Bourdeaux,
4 5 5 -5 5 5 -4 -4She had blonde hair and blue eyes too;
-3 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3She let me ride on the ring-dang-do.
-3 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -4 4[Chorus]
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
4 5 5 4 4 5 5 4It's soft and round like a pussycat,
4 5 5 -5 5 5 5 -4-4Got a hole in the middle and it's split in two;
-3 -3-4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3And that's what you call the ring-dang-do.
-3 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4[Verse]
She took me down into her cellar;
4 5 5 4 4 5 5 4 4Said that I was a mighty fine fella;
5 5 5 -5 -55 5 5 5 -4Fed me wine and whiskey too;
-4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3And let me ride on the ring-dang-do.
-3 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4[Chorus]
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?

Her father come in and angrily said;
4 5 5 5 4 4 5 5 5 4Now you have lost your maiden head;
4 5 5 -5 5 5 -4 -4Pack your bags and your coat tags too;
-4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3Make your living off a ring-dang-do.
6 6 6 6 6 -55 -4 4[Chorus]
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?

She went off to be a whore;
5 5 4 4 5 5 4Hung this sing upon her door;
5 5 -5 5 5 -4 -4A dollar each and three for two;
-3-4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3To take a crack at my ring-dang-do,
-3 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -4 4[Chorus]
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?

-3 -3-4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3And that's what you call the ring-dang-do.
