My son John was tall and sim, and he had a leg for every limb.
Now he got no legs at all, they're both shut away by Ken and Ball.
Oh, [B] rum-rye, for a little lye, what for diddle diddle, rum [D]-rye?
Oh, were you drunk or were you blind, to leave your two fine legs behind?
It wasn't from walking up on the seed, your [Bb] legs to the ground did indeed.
[A] Oh, rum-rye, for a little lye, what for diddle diddle, rum-rye?
I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind, to leave my two fine legs behind.
[D] It was a Ken and Ball on the 5th of May, that took [Bb] my two fine legs [A] away.
Oh, rum-rye, for a little lye, [D] what for diddle diddle, rum-rye?

The side-run of my legs [B] they used to be, than the King of Spain and his whole [F] navy.
Oh, rum-rye, for [G] a little lye, what for diddle diddle, rum [D]-rye?
Oh, I was tall and I was sim, and I had a leg for every limb.
Now I got no legs at [Dm] all, you can't win a race with a Ken [A] and Ball.
