Has anyone before ever written a song about courtship [G] and love
centred around the bride-to-be chain-smoking cigarettes and asking,
Have you got a light, boy?
[C] [G]
I had a gal, wee nice gal, down in [G] Loxham Way
She was fully nice to me back in the old school [C] days
She would smile all the while but Daddy [G] didn't know all
What she used to say to me behind the [C] garden wall,
[G] Have you got a light, boy?
[C] Have you got a light?
Then one day she went away, I don't see [G] her no more
Till by chance I see her [D] down along the [G] Monsley [C] Shore
She was there twice as fair, would she [G] know me true
So when she sees me [G#] pass, boy she say I'm [C#m] glad that's you
Have [G] you got a light, boy?
Have [C] you got a light?
[F] Molly Wimbley, [C] she walks like a chimney
But [G] she's my little nicotine [C] gal
Now you'll see her and me never more [G] to part
We would wander hand in hand together in the dark
[C] And then one night I held her tight in the old [G] backyard
Now when I tried to hold her close she say now hold [C] your heart
Have you [G] got a light, boy?
Have [C] you got a light?
By and by we decide on the [G] wedding day
So we toddled off to church to hear the preacher say
[C] Do you know, take the vow to honour [G] all the time
Before I had the chance to stop her, she [C] begins to pine
[G] Have you got a light, boy?
[C] Have you got a light?
[Fm] Molly [C] Wimbley, she walks like a chimney
[G] But she's my little nicotine [C] gal
Now the doctor tells me a daddy [G] I will be
So when I ask him what's the score, [E] he say there's only [G] three
[C] So here I go, cheerio, to see how [G] she do fare
I know what she will say to me as soon as [C] I get there
Have you [G] got a light, boy?
