[G] _ _ _ Oh, well, once I was [C] a wet [G] man [Dm] that lived the torment [C] _ is,
[G] _ Now I am [C] a [G] mariner that [D] ploughs the [G] angry seas.
[D] Oh, I always loved [Am] sea-faring life, [C] I bid [Dm] my love [G]
adieu,
_ I shipped his children, took my buys, [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.
_ _ [D] Oh, I never thought she would prove [C] false, or either prove _ untrue,
As [G] to besell the wet [C] room, ill [G]-fared me, [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Think of me, [C] oh, think of [G] me, [D] she mournfully did [C] say,
_ [G] When you were in [C] the [G] far-den land, [D] and I am [G] far away.
_ _ [D] And take this [Am] lucky, thruppity bit, it'll [G] make you bearden minds,
That loving, trusting, faithful heart [D] you left in tears [G] behind.
_ Cheer up, cheer up, [C] me own to load [D] on to eat so bit [C] early,
_ _ [G] She sobbed, [C] sighed, choked, [G] and cried, [D] and could not say [G] goodbye.
_ _ [D] Oh, I won't be gone [Am] for very long, tis but a [G] month or two,
_ For when I will [C] _ [G] return [D] again, of course I'll [G] visit you.
[D] Oh, I never thought she would prove [C] false, or either prove _ untrue,
[G] As to besell the wet [C] room, ill [G]-fared me, [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _ _ _ _ _
Our ship [C] was homeward bound, [D] to many's the far [C]-den shore,
[G] And to many's the far [C]-den [G] present, _
[D] unto me love [G] I bore.
I [D] brought tortoises _ [Am] from Tenerife, [C] and [G] ties from Timbuktu, _
A china-rat, and a Bengal-cat, [D] and a Bombay _ [G] cockatoo. _
Head off [D] I sought [C] her dwelling, _ [D] on the street above [C] the town,
_ [G]
Where an ancient dam [C] upon [G] the line [D] was hanging [G] out her gown. _
[Am] Where is me love?
She is vanished, sir, [C] about [G] six months ago,
With a smart young man that [C] [G] thrives the wan, [D] crunchy apple, and [G] sun in call. _
[D] Oh, I never thought she would prove false, [C] or either prove untrue,
[G] As to besell the [C] wet room, [G] ill-fared me, [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _ _ _

to health, to dreams [C] of married [G] life, [D] to soap, to suds, [C] and blue, _ _
[G] Hearts to [C] love, and paint, [G] and starch, [D] washing _ [G] soda too. _
[D] Oh, while going to [Am] some far-den shore, [C] no [D] longer can [G] I stay, _
And a-whitsing china, hot and taut, [D] I'll throw myself [G] _ away.
Oh, me love, she is [C] no foolish girl, [D] her age it is to [C] score. _
[G] Me love, she is [C] no [G] spinster, she's [D] been married twice [G] before. _
[D] Oh, I cannot say [Am] it was her wealth [C] that stole [G] me heart away. _
She's a viler in a laundry, [D] for one man [G] nine a day. _
