[Verse 1]
C F C F C
I'm a troubled young man, my friend, as you ever did see

For I married a damsel, her age, it was scarce twenty-three

I'm sorry to tell you, I married this false minded one

For she's left me alone and gone off with another young man
[Verse 2]

Now the day we were wed she said, "I went on a spree"
F C G
The neighbour next door, she swore, was better than me

They go out every night and stay dancing the morning away
C F G F C
And the pair leave me there to fair the best that I may
[Verse 3]

Well, three weeks we were wed when this lassie, I took her to town

Expenses I paid on the way, I gave her a crown

When I found she was gone, like a madman, I rushed through the square

I'll find out a hole and trying to tear out my hair

A neighbour named Ned, he stuck out his hand for the gore
C F G F C
"Has you wife gone away, will she never come back anymore?"

F C F C
Buys an acre of land, I might, if I'd a pig and a cow
F C G
A duck and a drake, with no one to take care of us now

I selled them all off, I declare, for I'm tired for my life
C F G F C
Let the ladies to dance so long, and look for your wife, (yelp)
