I went out on one day, on one ramblin' [Bm] lonely day,
[D] And I met up with that wild bell jones.
He came walkin' and talkin' by my true lover's side,
And I begged her for to leave him alone.
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho [Bm]-ho-ho-ho-ho.
[D]
Oh, it said my age is a twenty [Bm]-one.
[F#] Far too old for to be [Bm] controlled.
[D] So I drew my revolver off from my [Bm] side,
Lord [D]
and I destroyed that poor [Bm] boy's soul.
Oh no.
[D] Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho [Bm] ho ho ho.
[D] [Bm]
[D] Well he reeled and he staggered and he fell to the ground.
[D]
And then he gave one [Bm] deathly morn.
[D] So today is the last for the wild [Bm] bell jones.
[F#m] But tomorrow be the last [Bm] o'er ye.
Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
