Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (D minor) (G major) (C major) It was down by the
banks of the band,
Lived a farmer with acres of (G major) plenty.
His life, (C major) was peaceful and (F major) calm,
Till he (G major) married a girl from the (C major) gentry.
She was (A minor) handsome and (D major) buxom and (G major) gay,
But (C major) wild as a (D major) devil and (G major) frisky.
She was (C major) better than men, they did (F major) say,
(D minor) At her (G major) ring, a porter and (C major) whiskey.
Rai -fa -la -la -little -a -yay,
Rai -fa -la -la -little -a (G major) -y addy,
Rai (C major) -fa -la -la -little -a (F major) -yay,
(D minor) Singin' (G major) wack -fa -la -teer
-a -la (C major) -y addy (G major) (C major)
The marriage was rocky at best,
It wasn't a match made in (G major) heaven,
At (C major) dawn he arose from his (F major) nest,
But she stayed (G major) in her bed till elev (C major) en.
At (A minor) cooking or (D major) cleaning she'd (G major) frown,
At the (C major) farming she (D major) hadn't a (G major) no tion,
So she spent (C major) all her time in the (F major) town,
(D minor) Buying dresses (G major) from over the (C major) ocean.
Rai -fa -la -la -little -a -yay,
Rai -fa -la -la -little -a (G major) -yaddy,
Rai (C major) -fa -la -la -little -a (F major) -yay,
Singin' (D minor) (G major) white for little -a -y (C major) addy (G major) (C major)
Each day when the farmin' was done
He wanted to sit at his leis (G major) ure
But (C major) she would be lookin' for fun
(F major) Sayin',
I (G major) want some enjoyment and (C major) pleasure
So he'd (A minor) labor away (D major) at his (G major) best
Sayin', darlin', I'll (D major) give you fair (G major) warnin'
If you (C major) don't let me stop for a (F major) rest
I (D minor) will (G major) surely be dead by the (C major) mornin'
Rai -fa -la -la -liddle -a -yay,
Rai -fa -la -la -liddle -a (G major) -yaddy,
Rai (C major) -fa -la -la -liddle -a (F major) -yay,
Sing and (G major) wack -a -la -tir -a -la (C major) -y addy (D major) (B minor) (G major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (B minor) (G major)

(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (A major) (D major)
Well, she met a young sailor one day
Who was soon taken in by this (A major) charmer
They (D major) up and they both ran away
(G major) Much (A major) to the relief of the (D major) farmer
He found a wee (E minor) widow from (A major) Larne
At the (D major) milk and there's
(E minor) nobody bet (A major) ter
They're (D major) very content on the (G major) farm
An (E minor) d he's (A major) glad he was able to (D major) get her
Right follow the Little I .A.
