The Jolly Tinker

   G                              
As I went down a shady lane, at a 
F                 G
door I chanced to knock
"Have you any pots or kettles, with 
               F
rusty holes to block?"
        G                      D
"Well indeed I have, don't you know 
I have
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed I have"


[VERSE 2:]
The misses came out to the door and 
    F                G
she asked me to come in
Saying, "You're welcome jolly tinker
                             F
 and I hope you brought your tin"
        G                     D
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I
 did
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed I did"


[VERSE 3:]
She took me through the kitchen and 
    F                  G
she led me through the hall
And the servants cried "The devil, 
               F
has he come to block us all"

"Well indeed I have, don't you know 
I have
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed I have"


[VERSE 4:]
She took me up the stairs, me lads, 
   F               G
to show me what to do
And then she fell on the featherbed 
                 F
and I fell on it too
        G                     D
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I
 did
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed I did"


[VERSE 5:]
She then picked up the frying pan 
    F            G
and she began to knock
For to let the servants know, me 
                       F
lads, that I was at me work
        G                     D
"Well indeed I was, don't you know I
 was
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed I was"


[VERSE 6:]
She put her hand into her pocket and
     F                 G
 she pulled out twenty pounds
Said, "Take this my jolly tinker and
                    F
 we'll have another round"
        G                       
"Well, indeed we will, don't you 
 D
know we will
      G               D        
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
    G
indeed we will"


[VERSE 7:]
Well, I've been a jolly tinker for 
      F              G
these forty years or more
Oh, but such a lovely job as that, I
             F
 never did before
        G                       
Well, indeed I didn't, don't you 
 D
know I didn't
      G               D     N.C.
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well 
indeed I didn't
