G C G
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
D7
Laying around with nothing to do
G C G
When you went away you took my cow Bessie
D7 G
I miss her darling more than I miss you
C G
You took off your leg your wig and your eyeglass
D7
And you should've seen the look on my face
G C G
I wanted to kiss I wanted to hug you
D7 G
But you were scattered all over the place
C G
Where oh where are you tonight
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone
G C G
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and phht you were gone
C G
I know that you loved me here's my way of knowing
D7
The proofs hanging out right there on the line
G C G
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
D7 G
Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine
C G
The noises you made at our supper table
D7
Your habits my dear were surely absurd
G C G
But how many times do I have to tell you
D7 G
Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard
Repeat #3
C G
Remember you phoned me a-sobbing and crying
D7
The dog bit your ma and drug her around
G C G
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying
D7 G
I said don't worry I'll buy a new hound
C G
I had six kids and you had eleven
D7
And we had more and they grew like flowers
G C G
I wish you'd come back without you ain't heaven
D7 G
Cause your kids and my kids are beating up ours
Repeat #3
C G
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and phht you were gone
