  Another Great GBS Tune

  

  

  The Jolly Butcher

  

  Chorus

  

  G

  Oh won't you come along with me love

   C       D       G

  Come along with me

  

  Come for one night and be my wife 

       C      D        G

  And come along with me

  

  G                                                   D

  Well it is of a jolly butcher as you might plainly see

         G                            F      C    D

  As he rumbled out one morning in search of company

  G                                            D

  He went into a tavern and a fair girl he did see

     G                                F    C       D

  come for one night be my wife, come along with me

  

  

  G

  He called for liquor of the best 

                             D

  And he made such fortune play

        G

  Come for a drink it will make you think

           F         C     D

  That it is our wedding day

  

  Chorus

  

  Well he called for a candle to light their way to bed

  And when he had her in the room these words to her he said

  A sovereign I will give to you for to embrace your charms

  And all that night the fair young maid laid in the strangers arms

  

  Chorus

  

  Ah early the next morning the charlotte went his way

  He looked onto the that fair young maid and onto her did say

  That sovereign that I gave to you. Now do not think me strange

  That sovereign that I gave to you will you give me back me change

  

  Chorus 

  

  Well about twelve months later he rumbled out once more

  And he went into the tavern where he'd often been before

  He wasn't in there very long when his fair girl he did see

  And she brought forth a baby three months old and placed it on his knee

  

  Ah when he saw the baby he began to curse and swear

  And he said onto that fair young maid why did you bring him here

  Well he is your own kind sir she said. Do not think me strange

  That sovereign that you gave to me well I give's you back your change

  

  Chorus
