I had a horse and his name was Bill, [C] and when he ran he couldn't stand [G] still.
He ran away one day, [D] and also I [G] ran with him.
He ran so fast he could not stop.
[C] He ran into a barber shop, [G] fell exhaustionized with his eye teeth [D] in the barber's [G] left shoulder.
I had a gal and her name was Daisy.
[C] When she sang, the cat went crazy [G] with deliriums, st.
vitises, [D] and all kinds of [G] cataleptics.
One day she sang a song about [C] a man who turned himself inside out [G] and jumped into the river.
He was [D] so [G] very sleepy.
I'm going out in the woods next year, [C] shoot for beer and not for deer.
Well [G] I am, well I ain't.
[D] I'm a great [G] sharpshooter.
I shoot even birds, I am a beaut.
[C] There is no bird I cannot shoot.
[G] In the eye, in the ear, [D] in the teeth, [G] and in the fingers.
I went up in a balloon so big, [C] the people on earth looked like a pig, [G] like a mouse,
like a katydid, [D] like flieses, [G] and like fleases.
Balloon it turned up with its bottom side [C] high, fell on the wife of a country squire.
She [G] made a noise like a doghound, [D] like a steam whistle, and [G] like dynamite.
Oh what could you do in a case like that?
[C] What could you do but stamp on your hat, [G] or on your mother,
on your toothbrush, [D] and everything [G] that's helpless.
