Oh, it's once I loved Douglas, and then I loved John
Then I loved William, he's a clever young man
With his white cotton stockings and his low ankle shoes
And he wears a blue jacket wherever he goes
So it's tie a yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me
Wear it around your neck, my loving flash company
Flash company, my boys, like so many more
If it hadn't been for flash company, I'd never have been so poor
Oh, it's fiddling and dancing, they were all my delight
Keeping flash company, it has ruined me quite
It has ruined me quite, my boys, like so many more
If it hadn't been for flash company, I'd never have been so poor
So it's tie a yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me
Wear it around your neck, my loving flash company
Flash company, my boys, like so many more
If it hadn't been for flash company, I'd never have been so poor
Oh, it's once I had a colour as red as the rose
Now I'm as pale as the lily that grows
Like a flower in the garden, all the colour has gone
Don't you see what I have come to by loving such a one?
So it's tie a yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me
Wear it around your neck, my loving flash company
Flash company, my boys, like so many more
If it hadn't been for flash company, I'd never have been so poor
