_ _ _ _ [G] Oh, Ferdie McCormick, he was [Dm] walking one day when he noticed a building [Bb] on fire.
[F] The screams of a lady could [Bb] plainly be heard [F] as the [Bb] building smoldered [C] even higher.
[Bbm] Oh, the [F] trembling lady [Gm] was [F] clutching a baby.
The building was ten [Bb] stories [F] high.
It could plainly be [Dm] seen that both she [Bb] and her [F] baby were certainly doomed for to die. _ _ _
Well, the [C] firemen were there with [Bb] their ropes and big ladders and [Dm] they were holding a big trampoline.
[F] They were trying to entice this young [Bb] lady to [Dm] jump, but indeed she wasn't very [C] keen.
[Bb] Her baby [F] was too small [Gm] to survive [F] such a fall and she didn't refuse to let [Bb] go.
[F] _ Oh, what could they do?
They were all [Bb] in the blue as [F] they helplessly gazed from below.
_ _ _ Well along [C] came a hero, [Dm] old Ferdie [F] McCormick, says he, throw your baby to [Bb] me.
[F] _ Indeed [C] I will catch it, [Bb] from death I will [Dm] snatch it, and safe in my arms it [C] will be.
Oh, his [Bb]
[Dm] masculine charms and [F] a beatful wax hands laid down all this young [Bb] lady's fears.
[F] As she cried, bless you Ferdie, she [Bb] tossed her baby over [F] the side as her eyes filled with tears.

Well, [G] the rest of the story can long be [Dm] remembered in history throughout [Bb] all the land.
[F] As that baby came down, the crowd [Bb] gathered round, [F] it landed safe in Ferdie's arms.
Hey, he's rescued the [Gm] child, says the [C] crowd, [F] going wild, but the excitement was clearly [Bb] too much. _
[Cm] [F] As they all gazed in [C] wonder, [Bb] when he swept up and under, [F] he kicked 40 [G] metres to touch. _
Thank you very much everyone.
