Verse 1
(C major) I have a song to sing, O!
Sing me a song, (G major) O! (C major)
It is sung to the moon by (G major) a lovelorn loon
Who (C major) fled from the mocking (G major) throng, (C major) O!
It's the song of a merry man,
(G major) moping mum,
Whose soul was (C major) sad
and whose (G major) glance was glum,
Who (C major) sipped no sup and who
(G major) craved no crumb,
As he (C major) sighed for the (G major) love of (C major) a lady.
Hey -dee!
Hey -dee!
(G major) Misery me lacquered (C major) hey -dee!
He sipped no sup and he
(G major) craved no crumb,
As he (C major) sighed for (G major) the love of (C major) a lady.
I have a song to sing, oh!
What is your song, oh?
It is sung with the ring
of the (G major) songsmaids sing,
Who (C major) love with a love life (G major) long, (C major) oh!
It's a song of a maidymaid
(G major) purely (C major) proud,
Who loved her lord and
who (G major) laughed aloud
At the (C major) moan of the maidyman
(G major) moping mum,
Whose (C major) soul was sad
and whose (G major) glance was glum,
Who (C major) sipped no sap and who
(G major) craved no crumb,
As he (C major) sighed for the (G major) love of (C major) a lady.
Hey -dee!
Hey -dee!
(G major) Misery me!
(C major) Lack -a -dee -dee!
He sipped no sap and he
(G major) craved no crumb,
As he (C major) sighed for the (G major) love of (C major) a lady.
I have a song to sing, oh!
Sing me a song, oh!
It is sung to the knell of a (G major) churchyard bell,
And a (C major) doleful dirge ding (G major) -dong.
(C major) Oh, it's the song of
a popinjay bravely (G major) born,
Who (C major) turned up his (G major) noble nose with scorn
At the (C major) humble merry maid,
(G major) purely proud,
(C major) Who loved her lord and who laughed (G major) aloud
At (C major) the moan of the merry
(G major) man, moping mum,
Whose (C major) soul was sad
and whose (G major) glance was glum,
Who sipped (C major) no sup and who
(G major) craved no crumb,
(C major) As he sighed for the (G major) love of a (C major) lady.
Heide, Heide,
(G major) Misery me lack a (C major) lady,
He sipped no sup and he
(G major) craved no crumbs,
He sighed for the love of a (C major) lady.
I have a song to sing.
Sing me your song.
It is sung with a sigh (G major) an d a tear in the eye,
For it tells of (C major) a right and (G major) wrong.
It's a (C major) song of a merry maid, once so gay,
Who turned (G major) on her heel and
(C major) tripped away
From the Peacock,
hoping she bravely (G major) fell on,
Who (C major) turned up when no
(G major) one else was gone,
And the (C major) humble heart that (G major) he did not prize,
So (C major) she begged on her knees
with (G major) downcast eyes
For (C major) the love of a merry man,
(G major) moping mum,
Whose (C major) soul was sad
and whose (G major) glance was glum,
Who (C major) sipped no sap and who
(G major) craved no crumb,
As he (C major) sighed for the (G major) love of a (C major) lady.
Haydee! Haydee!
(G major) Misery me (C major) a black lady,
His pains were hard and he
(G major) sighed no more,
(C major) For he lived in (G major) the love of (C major) a lady.
