Oh Coal Black Smith

Em                        C
Oh she looked out of the window
Em               C
As white as any milk
Em                   C
But he looked in the window
Em              C
As black as any silk
Em               C
"Hello hello hello hello
Em                  C
Hello you coal black smith
Em                    C
Oh what is your silly song?
Em                       C
You shall never change my maiden 
name
Em                   C
That I have kept so long

Em C


Chorus:

Em                  C
I'd rather die a maid, yes"
Em             C
But then she said
Em                   C
"And be buried in my grave, yes"
Em             C
And then she said
Am
"Than I'd have such a nasty, husky, 
dusky, musty, fusty coal black 
smith,

Then she became a duck

And he became a water dog
