_ _ _ _ Mrs.
McGrath the [Ab] sergeant said, would you like [Eb] a soldier in your son Ted?
_ The scarlet coat, big cocked hat, Mrs.
[Fm] McGrath would you like that? _
You're too white for little [Ab] D.A. too [Eb] white, white, white.
_ You're too white for little D.A. too [Fm] white, white, white. _ _ _ _
Mrs.
McGrath lived on [Ab] the shore and after [Eb] seven years or more,
she spied a ship coming to bay with her [Fm] son from far away.
_ Captain dear, where have you [Ab] been?
You've been [Eb] sailing the Mediterranean.
_ _ Have you news of my son Ted?
Is he [Fm] living or is he dead?
You're too white for little [Ab] D.A. too [Eb] white, white, white.
_ _ You're too white for little D.A. too [Fm] white, white, white.
_ Then came Ted without any [Ab] legs and in their [Eb] place two wooden pegs.
She kissed him a dozen times or two and said, my [Fm] God Ted is it you?
Now were you drunk or were you [Ab] blind when you left your [Eb] two fine legs behind?
Or was it walking upon the sea that wore your [Fm] two fine legs away?
_ You're too white for little [Ab] D.A. too [Eb] white, white, white.
_ You're too white for little D.A. too [Fm] white, white, white. _
You're too white for little [Ab] D.A. too [Eb] white, white, white.
_ You're too white for little D.A. too [Fm] white, white, white. _ _ _ _
I wasn't [Bb] drunk and I wasn't [Ab] blind when I left my [Eb] two fine legs behind.
_ A cannonball on the 5th of May tore my [Fm] two fine legs away.
_ Teddy boy, the widow [Ab] cried, your two fine [Eb] legs are your mother's pride.
_ Stumps of a tree won't do it all, why didn't you [Fm] run from the cannonball? _
Too late _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ for delivery, too [Fm] late for my mother's pride.
_ Too late for [Ab] delivery, too [Eb] late for my mother's pride. _ _

_ _ _ _ foreign wars I do [Ab] proclaim live on [Eb] blood and a mother's pain.
I'd rather have my son as he used to be than a [Fm] king of America in his old navy.
_ _ _ _ Too late for [Ab] delivery, too [Eb] late for _ _ _ _ _ _ my [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] mother's _ [Eb] _ _ pride.
Too late for delivery, [Fm] too late _ _ _ for _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] my mother's [Cm] pride.
