D D D A7
There was an old farmer who sat on a rock
A7 A7 A7 D
Stroking his whiskers and shaking his fist
D D A7
At his neighbours who sat on their ricks
A7 A7 A7 D
Teaching their children to play with their kite-strings
D D A7
And marbles in the old days of Yore.
A7 A7 A7 D D
Along came a lady who looked like a decent young lady
D A7
And walked like a duck
A7 A7 A7 D D
Said she discovered a new way to bring up the children
D A7
To so and to knit
A7 A7 A7 D
The boys in the stables were shovelling up contents of
D D A7
stables left after the hunt
A7 A7 A7 D
the car man was feeling a nice piece of straw
D D A7
from the stable cleaning the walls
A7 A7 A7 D D
In came the dairmaid to play with his dog in the derry
D A7
where she did belong
A7 A7 A7 D
If you think this is dirty well you're fucking well wrong.
