Verse 1
(G major) Well, (C major) I told you all a story
about (G major) Aunt Martha's sheep
Well, here's another story
in my (C major) memory I will keep
So pull your chairs up close, boys,
and (G major) listen to my tale
I'll sing to you a ballad
of me and Brother (C major) Bill
T 'was early in the month of June
beneath the (D major) summer sky
(G major) We started on our journey
with a (C major) rod and reel and fly
Bill was an alcoholic
so (G major) lots of booze he took
And very soon we were fishin'
knee -deep in a (C major) brook
Now the birds were singin' sweetly
and the (G major) water (D major) runnin' (G major) wild
The salmon they were jumpin'
in that (C major) good ol' Newfie style
Bill would cast his line out
and (G major) in his pocket reach
And while he waited for a bite,
would have a drink of (C major) screech
Now Bill got in a happy mood
as (G major) more and (D major) more he (G major) drank
Until he saw a warden
up (C major) on the riverbank
His face did turn all colors
and he (G major) said, my God, I'm caught
My liquor I remembered,
but the license I for (C major) got
Now Bill, he had no money,
so it's (G major) fine, I'd have to pay
Well then I took it on me
to (C major) see he got away
I dropped my rod and reel,
started (G major) runnin' for the shore
And when I reached the bushes,
I was runnin' all the (C major) more (A major) (D major)
Now down a winding trail
with the (A major) warden in the chase
I ran about a mile
and fell (D major) flat upon my face
The warden, he jumped on me,
and (A major) this to me did say
You're runnin' from the law, boy,
so now you're gonna (D major) pay
His eyes they shone like diamonds
and he (A major) opened up his mouth
I reached into my pocket
and my (D major) li cense I pulled out
I did not break the law,
sir, my (A major) record is clean
The man without a license,
well, he left back in the (D major) stream
So have yourself a smoke,
sir, it don't (A major) matter anyhow
I do not know his name
and I'm (D major) sure he's gone by now
T 'was there I took a vow
that (A major) I would never tell
The warden, he would never know
it was my brother (D major) Bill
Now Bill, he's sittin' home
and the (A major) salmon's in the pan
He's sittin' at the table
with a (D major) big drink in his hand
He's laughing and wondering
if the (A major) warden got me yet
But I tell you boys, when I get home
I break his bloody (D major) neck
Yes, I (A major) tell you boys, when I get home
I break his bloody (D major) neck
