[G] _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ Hush wee Bobby [F] for your daddy's coming [G] in Stumbling up the [C] stairs and missing every
in _ Rotten wee beer [F] and stinking gin
[G] He's drunk again [C] as usual _ And oh my God [F] it's a weary, weary life
[G] Why would be [C] a drinking man's wife Why would [F] fall all his trouble and strife
[G] Oh but a silly [C] woman
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Hush wee Bobby [F] he's coming in the door [G] _
Drunk and big [C] feet are skiting on the floor
He's had a bucket [F] but he's thirsting for [G] more He doesn't ken [C] when he's beaten
_ And oh my God [F] it's a weary, weary life [G] _
Why would be [C] a drinking [Am] man's [C] wife _
Why would fall [F] all his trouble and [G] strife Oh but a silly [C] woman
_ _ [Dm] _ [C] _
_ _ _ Hush wee Bobby [F] listen to him sitting there [G] With his bludgered eyes [C] and his tangled hair
Mouth full of big [F] talk and eyes full of despair [G] And blaming me [C] as usual
_ And oh my God [F] it's a weary, weary life [G] _ Why would be [C] a drinking man's wife
_ Why would fall [F] all his trouble and [G] strife Oh but a silly [C]
woman
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Hush wee Bobby [F] for your daddy's gone to bed [G] For long he'll no remember [C] all the things he said
For his tongue was sharp [F] and all the wounds they [Am] [G] bled But then I'm [C] used to bleeding
_ And oh my God [F] it's a weary, weary life [G] _
Why would be [C] a drinking man's wife
Why would fall [F] all his trouble and [G] strife Oh but a silly [C] woman
[Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ Hush wee Bobby [F] and close your weary eyes [G] Cuddle in to your mammy [C] and stop your tired wee cries
And in the morning [F] when you decide to [G] arise Your mammy'll be [C] here waiting
_ _ And oh my God [F] it's a weary, weary [G] life Why would [C] be a drinking man's wife
Why would [F] fall all his trouble and [G] strife Oh but a silly [C] woman _ _ _ _ _ _
