Oh, I am an old knobby, and I [C] work on the line, And the last place I worked was [G] Newcastle on Tyne.
Well, [C] I'll tell me misfortune, it happened [G] in fun.
[C] Oh, it happened one [G] night I'd made knobby [C] boots on.
One night after [F] supper I shaved [C] off me beard, And to meet me fair Ellen I was [G] well prepared.
Oh, to [C] meet me fair Ellen I then hurried [G] down, [C] And I met her that night with me knobby boots on.
I knocked on her window, my knock it was low, I knocked on her window, [G] my knock she did know.
[C] She jumped down a bed saying, is that [G] you John?
[C] Have you ever hit me with me knobby boots on?
She came to the [F] door and invited [C] me in, Saying, draw to the fire love, [G] and water me your skin.
[C] Well, the bedroom was open, and the blankets [G] rolled down, [C]
So I jumped into bed with me knobby boots on.
And all of [Am] that night now we [C] sported and played, Never thinking of time as it soon passed away.
Then [C] she jumped down a bed crying, what [G] have I done?
[C] The baby will be born with me knobby boots on.
I just find me a loved one [F] for [C] talking so wild, You foolish young girl, [G] you'll never have a child.
[C] For all that I've done now it was only in [G] fun, But I run like hell with me knobby boots on.
And very soon after I was summoned to court, To pay for me sins just [G] like any man ought.
I [C] pay ten bob a week now for all of my fun, [C] And I had that night with me knobby boots on.
