[G] [C] There was an old man who lived in a wood as you can plainly see
He said he could do as much work in a day as his wife could do in three
With all my heart [G] the woman she said, that's what you will allow
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead and I'll go [C] drive the plough
But you must milk how tidy the cow for fish you will go dry
You must feed the littlest pigs that are within the stye
And you must mine the speckled hen, [F] the fish you lay [C] away
And then you must [C] reel the spool of yarn that I spun yesterday
The woman she took up her stuff [G] in her hand and she went to drive the plough
The old man [C] took up a pail in his hand and he went to milk the cow
[Em] But tidy hinged [F] and tidy [G] flinched and tidy broke his nose
[C] And tidy she gave to him such a big [F] load and poured round up to [Am] his toes

Hi tidy, ho tidy, tidy [G] thou stand [C] still, if ever I'm ill thee tidy again, be sore against my will
He went to feed the little pigs that were within the [Am] stye
He hit his [G] big head upon the thick beam and he made his red [Am] blood fly
[F] He [G]
[C] went to find the [C] speckled hen for fish he'd lay astray
He got to reel [G] the spool of yarn his wife spun yesterday
[Em] He swore by the sun, [F] the moon, the [Dm] stars, the green leaves [G] on the tree
[C] If his wife didn't do a [G] day's work in her life she'll not [C] be ruled by him
Was it the man who lived in the woods you complain [G] you see
[C] Said he could do as much work in a day as his wife could do in three
With all my heart [F] the woman she said, [Am] that's what you [G] will allow
Tomorrow you'll stay at home I said and I'll go drive [F] the plough
