[Intro]
When I was just a lad you know,
I met a gal from old Bourdeaux,
She had blonde hair and blue eyes too;
D7
She let me ride on the ring-dang-do.

[Chorus]
D
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
A7
It’s soft and round like a pussycat,
G7
Got a hole in the middle and it’s split in two;
D7
And that’s what you call the ring-dang-do.

[Verse]
D
She took me down into her cellar;
A7
Said that I was a mighty fine fella;
G7
Fed me wine and whiskey too;
D7
Let me ride on the ring-dang-do.

[Chorus]
D
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
A7
It’s soft and round like a pussycat,
G7
Got a hole in the middle and it’s split in two;
D7
And that’s what you call the ring-dang-do.

[verse]
D
Her father come in and angrily said;
A7
Now you have lost your maiden head;
G7
Pack your bags and your coat tags too;
D7
Make your living off a ring-dang-do.

[Chorus]
D
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
A7
It’s soft and round like a pussycat,
G7
Got a hole in the middle and it’s split in two;
D7
And that’s what you call the ring-dang-do.

[verse]
D
She went off to be a whore;
A7
Hung this sing upon her door;
G7
A dollar each and three for two;
D7
To take a crack at my ring-dang-do,

[Chorus]
D
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
A7
It’s soft and round like a pussycat,
G7
Got a hole in the middle and it’s split in two;
D7
And that’s what you call the ring-dang-do.
