[Cm]
I'm a young married [Gm] man [Cm] that is tired in life.
Nine years I was wed to a sickly wife.
She did nothing all day but sit [Gm] home and sigh, [Cm] wishing to the Lord [G] that she might [Cm] die.
Well, a friend of me own come to see her one day.
He said that my wife was fast fade away.
The underwood told me that she [Bb] would grow well [Cm] if I bought her a [Fm] bottle [G] of cod [Cm] liver oil.
So I bought her a bottle, it was just for the try.
The way that she drank it, you'd swear she was dry.
I bought her another, it [Bb] vanished the same.
[Cm] And now she's got cod liver [G] oil [Cm] on the brain.
Why, it's cod in the morning and cod in the night.
The house reeks of cod and my wife is a bright.
Though she's strong as an ox now, it would make your [Bb] heart melt.
[Cm] She looks like a [Fm] flounder and [G] smells [Cm] like a smelt.
The house, it resembles a pharmacy shop, with bottles on bottles and bottles on top.
And sure in the morn when the kittles [Bb] are [Cm] filed, I swear it'd be [Fm] whistling [G] cod [Cm] liver oil.
[G] [Cm] I'm a young married man that is tired in life.
Nine years [Gm] I was wed to [Cm] a sickly wife.
If I had my way, I'd again [Bb] have her [Cm] ill.
For who wants a woman [G] that [Cm] breathes through a gill?
[G] [Cm]
