CFCFC
I'm a troubled young man, my friend, as you ever did see
FCG
For I married a damsel, her age, it was scarce twenty-three
CFCF
I'm sorry to tell you, I married this false minded one
CFGFC
For she's left me alone and gone off with another young man
[Verse 2]
FCFC
Now the day we were wed she said, "I went on a spree"
FCG
The neighbour next door, she swore, was better than me
CFCF
They go out every night and stay dancing the morning away
CFGFC
And the pair leave me there to fair the best that I may
[Verse 3]
FCFC
Well, three weeks we were wed when this lassie, I took her to town
FCG
Expenses I paid on the way, I gave her a crown
CFCF
I met an old friend and he pulled me in for the drain
CFGFC
And while we were there she prepared, ran off on the train
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
FCFC
When I found she was gone, like a madman, I rushed through the square
FCG
I'll find out a hole and trying to tear out my hair
CFCF
A neighbour named Ned, he stuck out his hand for the gore
CFGFC
"Has you wife gone away, will she never come back anymore?"
[Verse 5]
FCFC
Buys an acre of land, I might, if I'd a pig and a cow
FCG
A duck and a drake, with no one to take care of us now
CFCF
I selled them all off, I declare, for I'm tired for my life
CFGFC
Let the ladies to dance so long, and look for your wife, (yelp)
