istines seized upon me,
F 
yet I thought they'd
G 
B 
C 
have ruined me quite.
G 
The third is a man and of
C 
G 
some milder blood,
some pity has lodged in his breast.
He often has threatened to
C 
G 
do me some good,
F 
G 
C 
but he doesn't for fear of the rest.

G 
a ranting young lad,

C 
my hands.

G 
The fifth is as cruel as cruel can be,

so they instantly bored out my eyes.

The Sixth is no better than
all of the rest,
he was the first breeder of strife.
If any of you had been there in my place,
you'd be glad to come off
C 
with your life.
G 
When they were all merry,
C 
G 
carousing with wine,
The first poor young
Stamson did call.
He pulled down the house
C 
G 
and slew all in one blow,
C 
And that was an end to them all.
G 
F 
C 
We are six actors bold,
G 
Never came on stage before,

G 
And we will do our best,
F 
C 
and the best can do no more.
