In the merry month of May me from my home I [C] started, left the girls of two, my nearly broken heart I still owed it [Dm] for a dear.
Kiss me darling mother and drink a pint of [C] beer, my grief and fear, to [Dm] smothered enough to [Bb] reap the corn.
Believe where I was born, I caught [C] a storm back to the barnish coast, and gabbled [Dm] in brand new pair of brows,
rattled off the bus, freighted [C] all the dogs in the rocky road, to [Dm] double in one, two, three, four, five,
hunted her and turned her down to rocky road, and all the ways to double in one, two, three, four, [Dm]
five.
In bowling garden plate I reached the leaf, so [C] very started by delay, this morning by ten I rejected a [Dm] few,
it hurt me hard for thinking that somebody so [C] pure would never have sown for me.
[G] If you see the lass is smiling, laughing all the way, [Dm] let me hear [C] you start to sit your lot,
a wobbling hip, [D] a swipe of [Dm] sweat, a wave she's iron white, though I was [C] almost five,
I hit the rocky road, to double in [Dm] one, two, three, four, five, hunted her and turned her down to rocky road,
[C] and all the ways to double in one, two, three, four, [Dm]
five.
Hit double in next to the river, such a [C] minute of peace is soon to arrive,
a new did find city, then the [Dm] ticker stood, all the money for the bundle it [C] was not,
he didn't need the bill, this song [G] he crossed my mind, then I looked behind [Dm] the pond,
it was [C] a fine and lovely street, a wobbling pony far and row, set me gone and row,
was it [C] my destiny to walk the rocky road, to double in [Dm] one, two, three, four, five,
hunted her and turned her down to rocky road, [C] and all the ways to double [F] in one, two, three, four, [D]
five.

From there I got away, mysterious love of failing, [G] under the cage, a stag, a sheep, a snail,
I kept [Dm] an eye on me, a roach, a sand, a thorn, a petty, when I jumped [C] I caught a cabin full of petty,
down among the peaks [Dm] of plains, so far releasing them, so [C] hard it chipped the water,
a wobbling pony, [Dm] a wish me [C] so was it, a better [C] forest than the rocky road, to double [D] in one, two, three, [Dm] four, five,
hunted her and turned her down to [G] rocky road, and all the ways to double in one, two, three, four, [D] five.
The boys of Liripol, when me safely landed, [C] called me self a good, me good,
no longer standing, looking [Dm] on to find, that her eye was losing, poor and [C] hairless,
like a baby gone crazy, her [G] aim was ace, his eyes she laid, he had his mind,
so [C]
I was a hobble and [Dm] wait till I'd arrive, joy, a little ray, predicting [G] the faraway,
the rocky road, to double [Dm] in one, two, three, four, five,
hunted her and turned her down to rocky [G] road, and all the ways to double in one, two, three, four, [D] five.
