[D] [Gm] [F]
[Gm] [C] [F] [Gm]
[F] This tune was composed [Gm] by Spencer Thully
[F] and Tom [Gm] Henderson, who left home
[Bb]
He had been much [F] elusive [Gm] because the great confusion
[F] That mother reason [Gm] he started
[F] And [Gm]
[F] [Gm] [Bb] [F] Yorkshire nearer there ever he [Gm] had been on his travel
[F] Being weary of his travelling [Gm] he sat down to rest
[F] [Bb] And out of a tower [Am] on a mountain [Gm] there's a clear crystal fountain
But [F] bread and cold water [Gm] he himself did not [F] refresh
[Bb] [F] [Gm] Night [F] fast approaching [Gm] to the woods he resorted
But [F] the wooden mine in the [Gm] ivy is bent for the mace
[Bb]
Nobody dreamt about [Am] [Gm] sighing lament
[F] Go home to your family [Gm] this now, dear [F] Jesus
[C] This [F]
[C] [F] day November [Gm] of a reason to remember
[F] First he arrived home [Gm] to his family and his friends
[Bb] But it has come [Am] so astounded [Gm] surprise
Come forth [Bb] [F] to see such a stranger [Gm] once more
[F] And
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
[F] in this journey he came around them [Gm] with a fiddle-fraddle and stories
He [F] bring a fiddle-fraddle and [Gm] stories to drive care away
[Bb] Now he's as happy [Am] as [F] the [Gm] woods as the thousand friends
[F] And he'll remain he'll [Gm]
never have to travel far [F] away
