[Verse]
G A D
The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair,
G Bm
There’s men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold,
G A D
The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there,
G A
And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old. (the lads in their
hundreds)
[Verse]
G A D
There’s chaps from the town and the field and the till and the cart,
G Bm
And many to count are the stalwart, and many the brave,
G A D
And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart,
G A
And few that will carry their looks or their truth to the grave.
[Chorus]

The lads in their hundreds

The lads in their hundreds
[Verse]
G A D
I wish I could know them, I wish there were tokens to tell
G Bm
The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern;
G A D
And then one could talk with them friendly and wish them farewell
G A
And watch them depart on the way that they will not return.
[Chorus]
G A D
The lads in their hundreds

The lads in their hundreds

The lads in their hundreds
[Verse]
G A D
But now you may stare as you like and there’s nothing to scan;
G Bm
And brushing your elbow unguessed at and not to be told
G A D
They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man,
G A
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old.
[Chorus]
G A D
The lads in their hundreds
G A
The lads in their hundreds
