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