[A] [E] [A]
I'm gathered all around me and [E] I'll sing to [A] you a tale
About the boys in [D] Carmelville who almost [A] went to jail
It happened on a November's [D] night when all [A] hands were asleep
We crept up over Joe's house [E] and stole him [A] rather than she
We [E] [A]
caught the woolly animal [E] and dragged her [A] from her pen
She said goodbye to little [D] Ann, she'd never [A] see again
She knew that those dark [D] strangers soon would [A] take her life
In less than half an hour [E] she felt a [A]
dreadful night
[E] [A]
Ann Martha she got angry [E] when she heard [A] about the loss
Said she'd catch the robbers no matter what the cost
Next morning just at sunrise she to the office went
And to the [E] RCMP a [A] telegram she sent
[E] [A]
Well the Mountie got the message [E] and he started [A] to read
This is from Ann [D] Martha telling an [A] awful deed
Last night my sheep was stolen, [D] well, whom I [A] cannot tell
I'd like for you to catch them [E] and to drag them [A] back to jail
Well [E] [A]
just a short time later [E] about twelve [A] o'clock that night
We had the sheep a [D]-cooking and everyone [A] feeling tight
The smell of mutton and onions no man could ask for more
We're chugging a lug and a minging [E] when the Mountie [A] walk in the door
He [E] [A]
said sorry boys, you're party, [E] I really [A] don't want to wreck
I smelled the meat a [D]-cooking and I had to [A] come in and check
You see the sheep a-stolen [D] and the thief [A] was on the loose
I said come right in and join us [E] sir, we're having a [A] piece of moose
[E] [A]
Well he came right in and he sat right [E] down and we gave him a [A] piece of the sheep
Well this is the finest piece [D] of moose I know as [A] I ever eat
By two o'clock in the morning [D] he bid us [A] all good day
We get some nickels and the sheep [E] sir will phone you [A] right away
He [E] [A]
said thanks a lot, you're a darn [E] fine bunch, I promise [A] I know you keep
If every woman was as good as [D] you she wouldn't [A] have lost a sheep
After he left we had [D] the piece we had in [A] the oven to roast
We might have sold the sheep boys but [E] the [A] Mountie ate them all
[E] [A] [N]
I'm gathered all around me and [E] I'll sing to [A] you a tale
