STeamie
Down on Cauldrum Street
I fell in love (G major) with a (D major) laundry girl
Was (A major) working next to (G major) me
Verse 3
She was a (B minor) rare thing
Fine as a (D major) beeswing
So (B minor) fine (A major) a breath of wind
(G major) might (A major) blow her (G major) away
She was a (B minor) lost child
She was (D major) running wild, she said
As (B minor) long as there's (A major) no price (G major) (A major) on love,
I'll (G major) stay (D major)

Verse 4
(D major) Brown hair zig-zag round round her face
And a look of (G major) half-surprise
Like (D major) Like a fox caught in the
headlights
There was (A major) an animal in her (G major) eyes
Verse 5
She (D major) said, young man, O can't you see
I'm not the (G major) factory kind (D major)
If you don't take (G major) (D major) me out of here
I'll surely (A major) lose my miind
(G major)
Verse 6
She was a rare (B minor) thing
(A major) Fine as (D major) a beeswing
So fine (B minor) a breath of (D major) wind might
(G major) blow (A major) her away (G major)
She was (B minor) a lost child (G major)
She was (D major) running wild, she said
As (B minor) long as (D major) there's (A major) no price (G major) (A major) on love,
I'll (G major) stay (D major)
And you (E minor) wouldn't want (D major) me (G major) any (A major) other (G major) way

(B minor) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (E minor)
We (D major) busked around the
Verse 7
(D major) market
towns
And picked fruit down (G major) in (D major) Kent
And we could tinker lamps and pots
And (A major) knives wherever we (G major) went
Verse 8
And I (D major) said that we (G major) might (D major) settle down
Get a few acres (G major) (D major) dug
Fire burn (G major) ing (D major) in the hearth
And (A major) babies on the (G major) rug
She (D major) said O man, (G major) you
Verse 9
(D major) foolish man
It surely sounds (G major) like (D major) hell
You might be lord (G major) of (D major) half the world
(G major) You'll (A major) not own me as (G major) well
Verse 10
She was a (B minor) rare thing
Fine (D major) as a beeswing
So (B minor) fine (A major) a breath of wind
(G major) might (A major) blow her away (G major)
She was a (B minor) lost child
(D major) She was running wild, she said
As (B minor) long as there's (D major) no price (G major) on love,
(A major) I'll (G major) stay (D major)
(G major) And you (E minor) wouldn't want (B minor) me
(G major) any (A major) other (G major) way (D major)
Verse 11
We was camp (G major) ing down
the (D major) Gower one time
The work was pretty (G major) good (D major)
She thought we shouldn't wait for frost
(A major) And I thought maybe we (G major) should
We were (D major) drink (G major) ing more in
Verse 12
(D major) those days
And tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool (G major) I (D major) let her run
(A major) With the rambling (G major) (A major) itch
(G major) (E minor) (A major) (B minor) (G major)
Verse 13
(D major) Last (G major) I hear she's (D major) sleeping out
Back on Derby beat
White Horse (G major) in her hip (D major) pocket
And (A major) a wolfhound at her (G major) feet
Verse 14
And they (D major) say she even (G major) (D major) marriend once
A man named Romany Brown
But even a Gypsy (G major) (D major) caravan
(A major) Was too much (G major) settliing down
And they (D major) say her flower (G major) is
Verse 15
(D major) faded now
Hard weather and (G major) hard (D major) booze
But maybe that's just (G major)
(D major) hte price you pay
For the (A major) chains you re (G major) fuse
Verse 16
She was (B minor) a rare thing
(A major) Fine (D major) as a beeswing
And I (B minor) missh (D major) er more (G major) than ever
(A major) words could say (G major)
If I could (B minor) just taste
All of (D major) her wildness now
If I could hold her (G major) in my
(A major) arms today (G major) (D major)
Then I (E minor) wouldn't want (D major) her (G major) any (A major) other (G major) way (D major)
