I have often heard of said from me father and me mother [A] that going to a [G] wedding is the
making [D] of another.
Well [G] if this be true then I'll go without a
ring.
Oh it's kind brother that's won't you send
me to a wedding?
Oh it's so very.
How [C] will it be [G] if I die an old [D] maiden
in the garden?
I can cook and I can sew, I can keep the
house right tidy.
[A] Rise up in the [D] morning and get the breakfast
[D] ready.
But [G] there's nothing in this wide world that
would make me half so cheery as a wee fat lady who would call me so weary.
It's so very.
How will it be if I die an old [D] maiden in
the [G] garden?
Well now there's my sister Jean, she's not
handsome or good looking.
Scarcely sixteen [G] and a fellow she [A] was courting.
[G] And now she's twenty four with a son and a daughter.
Well you're only forty five and I've never had a boyfriend.
It's so very.
How will it be if I die an old maiden in
the garden?

pity.
It's so dear me.

the garden?

heeding.
