Three Weeks We Were Wed

      C              F       C              F        C
I'm a troubled young man, my friend, as you ever did see
                F           C                         G
For I married a damsel, her age, it was scarce twenty-three
    C                    F            C            F
I'm sorry to tell you, I married this false minded one
          C        F             G         F            C
For she's left me alone and gone off with another young man


[Verse 2]
                    F       C        F         C
Now the day we were wed she said, "I went on a spree"
                   F         C                      G
The neighbour next door, she swore, was better than me
        C                        F           C        F
They go out every night and stay dancing the morning away
        C             F        G        F           C
And the pair leave me there to fair the best that I may

                          F             C         F           C
Well, three weeks we were wed when this lassie, I took her to town
           F           C                 G
Expenses I paid on the way, I gave her a crown
  C                     F         C             F
I met an old friend and he pulled me in for the drain
    C             F            G          F          C
And while we were there she prepared, ran off on the train

[Verse 4]
                     F            C         F                  C
When I found she was gone, like a madman, I rushed through the square
                F        C                     G
I'll find out a hole and trying to tear out my hair
  C                       F             C            F
A neighbour named Ned, he stuck out his hand for the gore
         C          F             G          F       C
"Has you wife gone away, will she never come back anymore?"


[Verse 5]
                F       C               F         C
Buys an acre of land, I might, if I'd a pig and a cow
             F              C                      G
A duck and a drake, with no one to take care of us now
  C                        F              C            F
I selled them all off, I declare, for I'm tired for my life
        C         F        G         F             C
Let the ladies to dance so long, and look for your wife, (yelp)
