[D] [F] [G] [D]
Now [G] 'opping's just beginning,
We've got some time to [D] spend.
We've [G] only come down hopping,
To earn a quid if we [D] can.
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
Now [G] early Monday morning,
Just at 6 o'[D]clock
You'll [G] hear them hoppers calling.
Get up and turn your [D] pots
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
Now [G] every Tuesday morning,
The bookie he'll come [D] round;
[G] With a bag of money,
He'll flop it on the [D] ground.
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
Saying, "[D] Do you want some money?"
"Yes sir, if you [D] please,
To [G] buy a hock of bacon
And a roll of mouldy [D] cheese".
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
They [G] say all hopping's lousy,
I believe it's [D] true.
[G] Since I've been down hopping,
I've got a chat or [D] two.
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
[G] Early Saturday morning,
It is our washing [D] day.
We [G] boil 'em in our hopping pot,
And we hangs 'em o'er the [D] ground.
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
[G] Hopping is all over,
The money is all [D] spent.
I [G] wish to God I'd never done
No hopping down in [D] Kent.
With the [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-ee-i-ay.
[G] I say one, I say two,
[F] No more hopping shall I do.
The [G] tee-i-ay, tee-i-ay, tee-i-e-i-ay.
