_ _ What's the matter [Ab] with you, my [Ab] last?
_ Where's your dash into me?
[Db] Them soldier boys have picked him up
And taken [Gb] him far from me
Last payday he [Ab] went into town
[Gb] And them red [Ab]-coated lovers _
[Db] Then tized him in and [Ab] made him drunk
[Db] And he'd better gone to the _ _ gallows
_ _ _ The very sight of his cockade
[Bbm] Sets us all [Ab] a-crying
_ [Db] And me, I nearly [Ab] _ fainted [Db] twice
I thought that I was dying
Me father said he'd [Ab] pay the smarts
And he'd [Db] run for the golden [Ab] guinea
_ [Db] _ Sergeant Swarby [Ab] kissed the book
[Db] So now they've got me on Jimmy
_ _ [Eb] When _
_ [Bbm] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Jimmy talks [Ab] about the wars
[Bbm] It's worse than [Ab] death to hear him
[Db] I must go out to hide me tears
[Gb] Because I [Db] cannot bear him
The brigadier or the [Ab] _ grenadier
[Bbm] They said [Gb] they're sure to [Ab] make him _
[Db] So now he jibes and cracks his jokes
And bids me not forsake _ him
_ _ _ As I walk toward the [Ab] unstoppable [Db] field
Below where runs the [Ab] _ sea
[Db] I think [Eb] on Jimmy, here and there
That [Gb] it was [Db] all a dream
_ He healed the very [Ab] coils we'd burnt
[Gb] So when this fire [Ab] had beaten
_ _ [Db] To think the [Ab]
lump was in his hands
It sets me heart to beating
_ _ Oh break me heart [Ab] and then it's all
Oh [Gb] break me heart, me [Ab] weary
_ [Db] As I lie in [Ab] this cold, cold [Db] bed
With a single life I'm weary
_ Oh break me heart [Ab] and then it's all
[Db] [Gb] Go and break me heart, [Ab] me weary
_ [Db] As I lie in this cold, cold [Ab] bed
[Db] With a single life I'm weary _ _ _ _
