When Enoch he knocked, she knocked Enoch

From sheet music held online at the New York Public Library

I was walking 'round the town with Enoch Brown
And a lady on my side. 
"Its a little late at night,
And I'm a little tight
I'll go home now" Enoch cried,
"Will you com along with me and safely see
Me right home to the door?"
"If the lady doesn't mind and you'd be so kind"
So we said: "To be sure."
"For the wife" he cried "might be inside"
"But let her do her worst;"
"Will you knock?" Said he, and he spoke to me
Said I: "No fear! Ladies first."

Then she knocked, I knocked, Enoch he knocked, knocked with a rat-tat-tat
But upon my life, poor Enoch's wife was waiting on the mat. 
For she came to the door with a chopper and a saw, 
Gave Enoch such a clout [Drums] 
When Enoch he knocked, she knocked Enoch, knocked poor Enoch out
Then she knocked, I knocked, Enoch he knocked, knocked with a rat-tat-tat
But upon my life, poor Enoch's wife was waiting on the mat. 
For she came to the door with a chopper and a saw, 
Gave Enoch such a clout [Drums] 
When Enoch he knocked, she knocked Enoch, knocked poor Enoch out

Now he gave a horrid yell, as down he fell; 
And he shouted out "I'm dead!" 
He'd a dislocated jaw, 
His teeth were on the floor, 
And a big hole in his head. 
But he couldn't get inside, no matter how he tried 
For his wife had shut the door. 
He said "Let me in my dear" 
Said she "No fear, 
You'll stop outside I'm sure" 
"I appeal to you, what can I do?" 
Said I "We'll try again" 
So Enoch knocked and my girl she knocked; 
But ah! All was a very plain...

I was knocked when I knocked and Enoch knocked
For he knocked did Enoch Brown;
The knocker was knocked, my girl was knocked
When Enoch got knocked down.
I've knock'd about a lot, was never so knocked
As when Enoch knocked the door.
When Enoch he knocked the knocker,
She knocked him with a chopper,
And he fell down to the floor.
No more for me where-e'er I be
I'll soon bet out of sight
And let a pal go by if he's hi-ti-hi!
For I shan't forget that night.
When ...
