[Intro]
When I was just a lad you know,
4    5 5   4    4 5   5   4

I met a gal from old Bourdeaux,
4 5   5 -5  5    5   -4  -4

She had blonde hair and blue eyes too;
-3  -4  -4     -3   -3  -4   -4   -3

She 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  4

It's soft and round like a pussycat,
4    5    5   -5    5    5 5  -4-4

Got a hole in the middle and it's split in two;
-3  -3-4   -4 -4  -3 -3  -3  -3   -4    -4 -3

And 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  4

Said that I was a mighty fine fella;
5    5    5 -5  -55   5  5    5  -4

Fed me wine and whiskey too;
-4  -4 -3   -3  -4  -4  -3

And 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?
4   5    5    4   4   5    5  4

It's soft and round like a pussycat,
4    5    5   -5    5    5 5  -4-4

Got a hole in the middle and it's split in two;
-3  -3-4   -4 -4  -3 -3  -3  -3   -4    -4 -3

And that's what you call the ring-dang-do.
-3  6      6    6   6    -5  5    -4   4

[Verse]
Her father come in and angrily said;
4   5  5   5    4  4   5  5 5  4

Now you have lost your maiden head;
4   5   5    -5   5    5  -4  -4

Pack your bags and your coat tags too;
-4   -4   -3   -3  -3   -4   -4   -3

Make your living off a ring-dang-do.
6    6    6 6    6   -55    -4   4

[Chorus]
The ring-dang-do, now what is that?
4   5    5    4   4   5    5  4

It's soft and round like a pussycat,
4    5    5   -5    5    5 5  -4-4

Got a hole in the middle and it's split in two;
-3  -3-4   -4 -4  -3 -3  -3  -3   -4    -4 -3

And that's what you call the ring-dang-do.
-3  6      6    6   6    -5  5    -4   4

[Verse]
She went off to be a whore;
5   5    4   4  5  5 4

Hung this sing upon her door;
5    5    -5   5 5  -4  -4

A dollar each and three for two;
-3-4 -4  -3   -3  -4    -4  -3

To 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?
4   5    5    4   4   5    5  4

It's soft and round like a pussycat,
4    5    5   -5    5    5 5  -4-4

Got a hole in the middle and it's split in two;
-3  -3-4   -4 -4  -3 -3  -3  -3   -4    -4 -3

And that's what you call the ring-dang-do.
-3  6      6    6   6    -5  5    -4   4
