Intro: D-D-D-A A-A-A7-D-D
For (D) there was
an old farmer, who sat on a (A) rock,
he thought all the
wee boys to play with their
(D) toys. In the
meadows and over the (A) moors,
pay me young lady,
she looked like a
(D) very nice lady.
Sure she walked like a (A) dog.
She thought she'd
invented a new age of
(D) educate her
children to read and to (A) write,
but the old farmer's
son was out shovelling
(D) dirt from the
farmyard into the (A) byre.
The dirty old farmer
was pulling his
(D) horse from the
stable to go on a (A) hunt.
While the old farmer's
wife was there powering her
(D) sweet (G) vio-
(D) -lets, sweeter (G) than the (A) roses
covered all over
from head to toe
covered all (A7)over
with (G) sweet vio- (D) -lets.
(D) Now the old
farmer’s daughter stood by his (A) side,
she said to herself
I feel like a
(D) good walk by
the river and over the (A) hill.
She'll just take
a candle to give her a
(D) light if it
darkens. She'll need a whole lot of (A) luck
if she meets with
the farmhand and he wants to
(D) sweet (G) vio-
(D) -lets, sweeter (G) than the (A) roses
covered all over
from head to toe
covered all (A7)
over with (G) sweet vio- (D) -lets.
(D) Now the farmer
and his young lad, he's just twenty (A) six
he's a dirty old
habit of sucking at
(D) straws and matches,
and he lives in (A) fear
where ever he goes
they all think he's
(D) sweet (G) vio-
(D) -lets, sweeter (G) than the (A) roses
covered all over
from head to toe
covered all (A7)
over with (G) sweet vio- (D) -lets.
(A) Covered all
over from head to toe
covered all (A7)
over with (G) sweet vio- (D) -lets
