Chords for The Poozies-The Widow

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I upon a lonely morrow would all live alone
And in she kept and as she slept the pillow heard her moan
Oh, many years the traveller spent the night with me
There's not [D] a man in all creation gives [A] content to me
Though [D] some can manage once or twice and [A] some may three or four
It seems to me a rarity is a man who can do more
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ And as these words were spoken then she heard the front door bell
[D] And the wind grew [A] cold and lonely [D] across [A] that meadow's moor
And she never ever turned away trouble from the door
[D] So _
[G#] _ [A] _ holy then the widow ran the door she opened wide
And as she did it all a handsome stranger stepped inside
She gave him bread and brandy and when the tea was fed
He said me dear now have no fear it's time to come to bed
For I've heard you call way down below and I've come to see you right
And you must come to hell with me if I can last the night
She said you randy devil to this bargain I'll agree
To hell on earth or hell in hell it's all the same to me
[D] And the wind grew [F#m] cold and lonely [D] across that [A] meadow's moor
And she never ever turned away trouble from the [F#m] door
[D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ And they both fell in so bad the devil was working well
Thought before the night was through she'd be in his [D] hell
But when they [A] came to number nine the widow cried out more
When the twelfth time came around again she cried for more
Twenty-five the devil felt compelled to take a rest
The widow she said come raise your head and put me to the test
[D] At sixty [A]-nine the widow laughed again again she cried
The devil he said well I can see just how your husband [D] died
And the wind grew [A] cold and lonely [D] across the [A] meadow's moor
And she never ever turned away a trouble from the door

_ Ninety-nine the devil [Em] he began to cry and [A] weep
Said I'll give you anything if you let [G] me go to sleep
[A] Before the morning light was o'er the devil huddled calm
The widow still not satisfied whose moor [Em] was left alone
[A] But there she lay and grumbled she thought [G] of ninety-nine
[A] If only that old devil could have made it [G] one more [D] time
I'll call [C#m] him up again [D] tonight to see what [Em] can be done
[A] With a bit more application he could have made the ton
When she called to him that night no devil did appear
For the first time in eternity the devil shook with fear
He said of [B] all the [A] torments I've witnessed here in hell
I never knew what pain was till I rang the front doorbell
[D] And the wind grew [A] cold and lonely [D] across the [A] widow's moor
And she never ever turned away a trouble from the door

[A] And the wind grew cold and lonely [D] across the [A] widow's moor
And she never ever turned [D] away a trouble [E] from the [A] door
The wind grew cold and lonely across the widow's moor
And she never ever turned away a trouble from the door _ _ _ _ _ _ _
