CAPO: 3rd Fret
[VERSE 1:]
G F G
As I went down a shady lane, at a door I chanced to knock
F
"Have you any pots or kettles, with rusty holes to block?"
G D
"Well indeed I have, don't you know I have
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I have"
[VERSE 2:]
F G
The misses came out to the door and she asked me to come in
F
Saying, "You're welcome jolly tinker and I hope you brought your tin"
G D
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I did
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I did"
[VERSE 3:]
F G
She took me through the kitchen and she led me through the hall
F
And the servants cried "The devil, has he come to block us all"
G D
"Well indeed I have, don't you know I have
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I have"
[VERSE 4:]
F G
She took me up the stairs, me lads, to show me what to do
F
And then she fell on the featherbed and I fell on it too
G D
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I did
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I did"
[VERSE 5:]
F G
She then picked up the frying pan and she began to knock
F
For to let the servants know, me lads, that I was at me work
G D
"Well indeed I was, don't you know I was
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I was"
[VERSE 6:]
F G
She put her hand into her pocket and she pulled out twenty pounds
F
Said, "Take this my jolly tinker and we'll have another round"
G D
"Well, indeed we will, don't you know we will
G D G
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed we will"
[VERSE 7:]
F G
Well, I've been a jolly tinker for these forty years or more
F
Oh, but such a lovely job as that, I never did before
G D
Well, indeed I didn't, don't you know I didn't
G D N.C.
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I didn't
