[D] [F]
[Am] [Dm] [D]
My [C] son John was tall and slim, [D] he had a [C] leg for [Dm] every limb.
Now he's got [C] no legs [Am] at all, [D] for the boat shot [F] away with [C] a cannonball.
[Dm] When he chewed right out, [C] all the little [Dm] now, all the little didn't bite him dead.
[Am] [Dm]
Well were you [F] drunk or were you [C] blind [D] to leave your [C] two fine legs [Dm] behind?
[F] Oh was it [C] walking upon the [D] sea that took your legs [F] from the ground [Em] to the knee?
[Dm] When he chewed right out, all the little now, all the little didn't bite him dead.
Well I wasn't drunk and [F] I [Am] wasn't [D] blind to leave my two [C] fine legs [Dm] behind.
Was [F] a cannonball [C] and a blue thumb [Dm] mane that took my two fine [G] legs away.
[D] When he chewed right out, [F] all the little [D] now, all the [Dm] little didn't bite him dead.

[A] [Dm]
[C] [Bb]
[Am] [Dm] Had no house far from the [F] walls, out in [C] the [D] mounds,
Twins the king of England [C] or the king of [Dm] France.
I'd [F] ride on my [C] legs where they used to [Dm] be, then the king of Spain and his [C] whole navy.
When [D] he chewed right [Am] out, all the little [D] now, all the [Am] little didn't [Dm] bite him dead.
[G] [Dm]
For I was [F] tall and [C] I was slim, [Dm] I had a leg [C] for [D] every limb.
[Dm] [F] Now I've [C] got no legs at [Dm] all, you can't run a race with a cannonball.
When he chewed right out, [Am] all the little [Dm] now, all the little didn't bite him dead.
For I was tall and I [C] was slim, [Dm] I had a [G] leg for [D] every limb.
