The Ballad of Sir Marmaduke Dorchester

Oh where have you been
My handsome young Marmaduke


I´ve been to the park with my pal
You know his name´s James



Oh where have you been
My darling young duke



I´ve been to the palace with all
My friends you know their names




Oh where have you been
My sweetest kind look



I´ve been to the bookshop near
Buying a curiosity and a tear




Cause I’m weary from waiting
Sister make my dinner soon



And see you tomorrow
My handsome glad Duke.
