[F]
I was told by my aunt, I was told by my mother
[C] That going to a wedding [F] is the makings of another
Well if this [Bb] be so, then [F] I'll go without a fiddle
Oh kind Providence, won't you send me to a wedding
And it's oh dear me, how I'm [C] made in the [F] garden
Now there's my sister Jean, she's not handsome nor good looking
[C] Scares me sixteen [F] and well as she was caught
Now she's [Bb] twenty-four, [F] she's a son and a daughter
Here am I at forty-four and I've never had an offer
And it's oh dear me, how [Bb] I'm
[F] [C] made in the garden
[F] I can cook and I can sew, I can keep a house right tidy
[C] Rise up in the [F] morning and get the breakfast ready
There's [Bb] nothing in this [F] wide world that makes my heart so cheery
And so weep that man to call me his own weary
And it's oh dear me, how [Bb] it's me if [F]
I'm made [C] in the garden

Won't you marry after fifty
