Lyrics
Now Ben was a hackney coachman rare Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner And loudly he'd curse and loudly swear Tommy roo, tommy roo A handsome cabby he did drive With his number a hundred and forty five With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day As Ben was driving out one day Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner A handsome gent came by his way Tommy roo, tommy roo 'Come here me man for I would drive With your number a hundred and fourty five' With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day Now he held a book in his left claw Jarvеys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner Just for to show that hе studied that law Tommy roo, tommy roo Although he appeared to be mighty civil He knew damn well that he was The Devil With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day Says Ben to The Devil 'Now where would you go?' Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner As if the old fool he didn't to know Tommy roo, tommy roo The Devil thought he'd cut a swell To see to Ben drive straight to Hell With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day So Ben jumped up and he drove pell-mell Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner Until he arrived at the gates of Hell Tommy roo, tommy roo And when he arrived at the gates of sin He turned the wagon round and he backed The Devil in With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day Says The Devil to Ben 'Now what is your fare?' Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner 'Why twenty guineas for driving you here' Tommy roo, tommy roo The Devil paid without a grin For he thought he'd got aule Ben safely in With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day Says The Devil to Ben 'Your coach I'll burn' Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner When Ben jumped up fast to return Tommy roo, tommy roo 'Me horse and car can go to pot For they're insured and I am not' With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day So Ben jumped up and he drove home fast Jarveys, Jarveys, Gerry Mac Arowner Until he arrived safe home at last Tommy roo, tommy roo Now Ben doesn't curse and he has good luck For for The Devil does he give a damn With me ran tan tivey, tiddley fal day
