Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) Come gather all around me
and I'll (D major) sing to you a (G major) tale
About the boys in
Carmelville who (C major) almost went to jail
(G major) It happened on a
November's night when
(C major) all hands was (G major) asleep
We crept up over
Joe
Tosin and we (D major) stole
their murdered (G major) sheep (D major)
(G major) Now if you pay attention,
I (D major) know I'll make you (G major) laugh
We never went to steal the sheep,
we (C major) went to steal the (G major) calf
The old cow, she got angry because we
(C major) woke her from her sleep
We (G major) couldn't take any chances
so we (D major) had to steal the (G major) sheep (D major)
(G major) We caught the woolly animal
and dragged (D major) her from her (G major) pen
She said goodbye to little lamb
she'd (C major) never see again
(G major) She knew that those dark strangers
(C major) soon would take her (G major) life
In less than half an hour she
felt a (D major) dreadful (G major) night (D major)
(G major) And
Martha, she got angry when she
(D major) heard about the (G major) loss
Said she'd catch the robbers,
no (C major) matter what the (G major) cost
Next morning, just at sunrise,
she (C major) to the office (G major) went
And to the
RCMP, a (D major) telegram she (G major) sent (D major)
(G major) Well, the
Mountie got the message and he
(D major) started in to (G major) read
This is from my
Martha, (C major) tellin' an awful (G major) beat
Last night my sheep was stolen,
by (C major) whom I cannot tell (G major) I'd like for you to catch them and to (D major) drag them back to (G major) jail (D major)
(G major) Well, just a short time later,
about (D major) twelve o 'clock that (G major) night
We had the sheep a -cookin'
and (C major) everyone feelin' (G major) tight
The smell of mutton and onions,
no (C major) man could ask for (G major) more
We chugged a love and a minion
when a (D major) bounty walked in the (G major) door (D major)
(G major) He sorry boys, your party,
(D major) I really don't want to (G major) wreck
I smelled the meat a -cookin' and I
(C major) had to come and a (G major) -check
You see the sheep a -stolen
and the (C major) thief a -song a (G major) -loose
So come right in and join us, sir,
we're havin' a (D major) piece a (G major) -loose (D major)
(G major) Well he came right in, he sat right down,
we (D major) gave him a piece a (G major) -sheep
And this is the finest piece
a -moose I (C major) know as I ever (G major) eat
Two o 'clock in the mornin'
he (C major) bid us all a good day
(G major) We'd get snake loaves and a sheep,
swear we'll (D major) phone you right (G major) away (D major)
(G major) Said, thanks a lot, dear,
darn fine bunch of crumbs I (D major) know you'll (G major) keep
If everyone was as good as you,
you (C major) wouldn't have lost your (G major) sheep
After he left we had the piece we
(C major) had in the oven to (G major) roast
We might have sold the sheep, boys,
but (D major) the mouth he ate the (G major) most (D major) (G major)
you
Aunt martha's sheep
