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