[C] There was an old man who lived in a wood as you can plainly see
He said he could do as much work in a day as his wife could do in three
With all my heart [G] the woman she said, that's what you will allow
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead and I'll [C] go drive the cloud
But you must milk how tidy the cow for fish you will go dry
You must feed the littlest pigs that are within the stye
And you must mine the speckled hyme, the fish you lay away
And then you must reel the spool of yarn that I spun yesterday
The woman she [D] took up her stuff in her [Am] hand and she went to [G] drive the plough
[C] The old man took up a pail in his hand and he went to milk the cow
[Em] But tidy [F] hinged and tidy [G] flinched and tidy broke his nose
[C] And tidy she gave to him such a big load that rolled round [Am] to his toes

[C] Hi tidy, ho tidy, tidy thou stand still
If ever I'm ill be tidy again, be sore against my will
He went to feed the little pigs that were within [G] the stye
He hit his big head upon the thick leaf and he made [Am] his red bull fly
[F] He [G] went [F] to find the speckled [C] hyme for fish [G] he'd lay astray
[C] Forgot to reel the spool of yarn his wife spun yesterday
[Em] He swore by the [F] sun, the moon, the [G] stars, the green leaves on the tree
[C] If his wife didn't [G] do a day's work in her [C] life she'll not be ruled by him
There was an old man who lived in a road, as you can [G] plainly see
[C] Said he could do as much work in a day as his wife could do in three
With all my heart, [F] woman, she said, [Am] that's what you will [G] allow
[G] Tomorrow you'll stay at home, he said, and I'll go [C] drive the plough
