Tonart: C major
Verse 1
C
Dm
G
C
As I went out one morning,
Dm
it being the month of May,
G
A farmer and his daughter
And the girl sat down quite calmly
Dm
to the milking of her cow,
G
Saying, I will and I must get married,
C
Dm
for the humour is on me now.
G
C
Ah, be quiet, you foolish daughter,
Dm
and hold your simple tongue,
G
You're better free and single
C
and happy while you're young.
But the daughter shook her shoulders
Dm
and milked her patient cow,
Bdim
G
Saying, I will and I must get mad
C
Dm
before the humour is on me now.
G
C
An d sure, who are you to turn me,
Dm
that married young yourself,
Bdim
G
And took me, darling mother,
C
from off the single shelf?
Ah, sure, daughter dear,
Dm
go easy and milk your patient cow,
G
For a man may have his humour,
C
Dm
but the humour is off me now.
G
C
Well, indeed, I'll tell me mother
Dm
the aw ful things you say.
G
Indeed, I'll tell me mother
this very blessed day.
C
Ach, now, daughter, have a heart, dear,
Dm
you'll start a fearful row.
G
So I will, unless I marry,
C
Dm
for the humour is on me now.
G
C
Oh, well, if you must be married,
Dm
will you tell me who's the man?
G
And quickly she did answer,
C
there's William, James, an d John,
a carpenter, a tailor,
Dm
and a man to milk the cow,
G
for I will and I must get married
C
Dm
and the humour is on me now.
G
C
A carpenter's a sharp man
Dm
and a tailor's hard to face,
G
with his legs across the table
and
C
And your John's a fearful tyrant,
Dm
and never lacks a row.
G
But I will and I must be married,
C
for the humour is on me now.
Dm
G
C
Well, and if you must be married,
Dm
will you tell me what you'll do?
G
And quickly she did answer,
C
the same as me and you.
I'll be mistress of me dairy,
Dm
and me but ter, and me coal.
G
And your husband too I'll venture,
C
F
for the humour is on you now.
Dm
G
C
So, at last, the daughter married
Dm
and married well to do.
G
And loved her darling husband
C
for a month or a year or two.
But John was all a tyrant
Dm
and she quickly ruled her vows,
G
G
saying, I'm sorry that I married for,
G
D
G
C
the humor is off me now.
