[Verse]
EbCmAbBb
I had a sister Sally, she was younger than I am
EbCmAbBb
Had so many sweethearts, she had to deny them
EbCmAbBb
But as for sister Sarah, you know she hasn't many
EbCmAbBb
And if you knew her heart, she'd grateful for any
[Chorus]
EbCmAbBb
Come a landsman, a pins-man, a tinker or a tailor
EbCmAbBb
Doctor, a lawyer, a soldier or a sailor
EbCmAbBb
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
EbCmAbBb
Don't let her die an old maid, but take her out of pity
[Verse]
EbCmAbBb
We had a sister Sally, she was ugly and misshapen
EbCmAbBb
By the time she was sixteen years old, she was taken
EbCmAbBb
By the time she was eighteen, a son and a daughter
EbCmAbBb
Sarah's almost twenty-nine, never had an offer
[Chorus]
EbCmAbBb
Come a landsman, a pins-man, a tinker or a tailor
EbCmAbBb
Doctor, a lawyer, a soldier or a sailor
EbCmAbBb
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
EbCmAbBb
Don't let her die an old maid, but take her out of pity
[Verse]
EbCmAbBb
She never would be scoldin', she never would be jealous
EbCmAbBb
Her husband would have money to go to the alehouse
EbCmAbBb
He was there a-spending', she'd be home a-savin'
EbCmAbBb
And I leave it up to you, if she is not worth havin'
[Chorus]
EbCmAbBb
Come a landsman, a pins-man, a tinker or a tailor
EbCmAbBb
Doctor, a lawyer, a soldier or a sailor
EbCmAbBb
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
EbCmAbBb
Don't let her die an old maid, but take her out of pity
