Start Jamming...
Sing woe me lad, sing woe, drive on me lads I hope,
Who wouldn't lead a life just like we jolly wagoners do.
[B] [E]
When first I went a wagoning, a wagoning did go,
I filled my poor old fair in such a sorrow-grieving woe,
And many are the hardships that I have since gone through.
Sing woe me lad, [B] sing woe, drive on me lads I hope,
Who wouldn't lead a life just like we jolly wagoners do.
And when the rain is melting down and soaks me to the skin,
I'll bear it with contented hearts until I am [B] bathing in,
[E] And then I'll sit a-drinking with the landlord and his kin.
Sing woe me lad, [B] sing woe, [A] drive on me lads [E] I hope,
Who wouldn't lead [A] a life [E] just like we jolly wagoners do.
And when the clouds of winter break and springtime comes along,
The birds will fly from tree to tree, fill me with [B] their song,
And every [E] lad will find a girl and dance the [B] whole night long.
[E] Sing woe me [B] lad, sing [A] woe, drive on me [E] lads I hope,
Who wouldn't lead a life just like we jolly wagoners do.
[B] [E]
But things are greatly altered now in wagons few will see,
The world's gone topsy-turvy, lads, it's all one big machine,
It all passes before me just like a morning dream.
[C#m] Sing woe me lad, sing [E] woe, drive on me lads I hope,
Who wouldn't lead a life just like we jolly [B] wagoners do.
[E] Yes, things are greatly altered now, but then what can we do,
[A] When the folks [E] in power play no heed [B] to the likes of me and you,
[A] In searching for [E] us workmen, lads, and forging [B] for the few.

Sing woe me lad, [B] sing [A] woe, drive on [E] me lads I hope,
