[N] Wimmy tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo raayaa
[G] [D]
Mrs.
McGraw, the sergeant said, would you like to make a soldier out of your son Ted?
A scarlet coat and a big cocked hat, now [G] Mrs.
McGraw, how would you like that?
Wimmy [Em] tooraiyaa, [G] fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
Now Mrs.
[D] McGraw lived by the seashore for the space of seven long years or more
Till a great big ship came sailing in the bay, it is my son Ted, will you clear the way?
[Em] Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo [A] raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
Oh captain dear, where [D] have you been?
Have you [G] been a-sailing on the Mediterranean?
Have you any [D] news of my son Ted?
Is the poor boy living, or is he [Em] dead?
Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
Then up stepped Ted without any legs, and in their [D] place two wooden pegs
[A] She kissed him a [G] dozen times, her two saying, Holy Moses, but is it you?
Wimmy tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G] Now was you drunk or was you blind when you left your two fine legs [A] behind?
It wasn't from walking by the [G] sea, took your two fine legs from the knees [Em] away
Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
No I was not drunk and I was not blind when I left my two fine legs behind
A cannonball on the fifth of May took my two fine legs from the knees [Em] away
Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
Oh Teddy me boy, the widow cried, your two fine legs were your mother's [A] pride
The stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all, why [G] didn't you run from the [Em] cannonball?
Wimmy [D] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
So if I had me boy again, I'd never let him go to fight the [D] King of Spain
I'd rather me son as he used to be, than your King of France and your whole navy
[Em] Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo [Em] raayaa
[G]
All foreign wars I do declaim, between Don John and the King of [D] Spain
By heavens I'll make them rue the time that they swept the legs from a child of [Em] mine
Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, [Am] tooraiyoo raayoo raayaa
Wimmy [G] tooraiyaa, fa da dee da da, tooraiyoo raayoo raayaa
