There was a woman in our [F#] town, in our town she found, she loved that old man [F#m] dearly,
but another man [C#] twice as well.
[B] She thought of the [F#] Lord of Life, thought of the Lord of Life.
She went down to the doctor to see if she could find [C#] anything in the whole [F#] world to
make her old man [B] blind, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.
Oh take his sixteen [F#] marabons and make him eat them all, and [C#] when he's finished he'll
be so blind that he won't see you at all, [B] and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la
da la da la.
So the doctor he wrote a letter and he [F#] sealed it with his hands, and he [C#] sent it up to the
old man to make [E] him [B] understand, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.
But the old man been a crook, [F#] bugger he knew it all before, he ain't come up when he says
me dear oh I can't [E] see you at [B] all, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.

Says he I'll go to the river and then [F#] meself I'll drown, says [C#] she I'll walk along [F#m] with
you to see that you [E] don't fall [B] down, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.
They walked along together till [F#m] they come to the river's brim, so [D#] gently there she [C#] kissed
him and she crept away [B] behind him, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.
She ran and she ran behind him to [F#] try to push him in, but the old man had a [F#m] knee jumped
inside and she [C#] went tumbling in, and [B] sing fa la da la da la da la, fa la da la da la.

So loudly she did toll [F#] her, a loud for mercy call, but the [C#] old man said I am so blind [B] I can't see you at all, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la.
She swam and she swam and she swam around till she come [F#] to the river's brim,
but the old man donned him full and he pushed her [E] further in, and [B] sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la.
Oh it may take sixty marabouts [F#m] to make your old man blind, [F#] but if you want to murder him you must creep up [E] close behind [B] him, and sing fa la da la da da la da la, fa la da la da la. _
