John Anderson my jo John

I wonder what ye mean

and sit so late at e'en

     Am
and why do you do so

come sooner tae yer bed at nicht
   Em     Bm     Em
John Anderson my jo

     Em
John Anderson my jo John
    Am              Bm
when you at first began
  Em                  Am
you had as good a tail free
    G              Em
as ony ither man
 G
but noo it's wax and wan John
   Am
and wrinkles to and fro
     Em        Am   Em     Am
and it syne requires my helpin' hand
   Em     Bm     Em
John Anderson my jo

     Em
John Anderson my jo John
    Am              Bm
ye're welcome when ye please
  Em                  Am
it's either in the warm bed
    G              Em
or else abin the cleas
 G
and ye shall tak the horns John
   Am
upon yer heid tae grow
     Em        Am   Em     Am
aye, and that's the cuckold's malison
   Em     Bm     Em
John Anderson my jo.
