Freckles was his name, he always used to get the blame 
          D                               G

You know they spanked him 
                                          A  
At school he'd tease the girls, he always used to pull their curls 
             D                            B

Freckles was his name... 

And when the cat had kittens up in the hay 
One was black and seven were grey 
Everybody said Freckles, he always got the blame
