CThere was an old farmer who lived on a Grock,
he sat in the meadow, just shaking his 
Cfist at the boys who were down by the Gcrick,
their feet in the water, their hands on their
Cmarbles and playthings and at half-past fGour,
there came a young lady, she looked like a 
Cpretty young creature she sat on the gGrass,
she pulled up her dress, and she showed them her
Cruffles and laces and white fluffy Gduck,
she said she was learning a new way to
Cbring up her children, so they would not Gspit
while the boys in the barnyard were shovelling
Crefuse, and litter from yesterday's Ghunt
while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her
Ceye at the fellow, down by the Gdock
he looked like a man with a sizable
Chome in the country, with a big fence out Gfront
if he asked her politely, she'd show him her
Clittle pet dog, who was subject to Gfits
and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her
Csmall, tender hands with a movement so Gquick
and then she'd bend over and suck on his
Ccandy, so tasty made of buttersGcotch
and then he'd spread whip cream all over her
Ccookies that she had left out on her sGhelf
if you think this is dirty
you can go @!#$ youCrself!

There was an old farmer who lived on a rock,

he sat in the meadow, just shaking his

C G

fist at the boys who were down by the crick,

their feet in the water, their hands on their

C G

marbles and playthings and at half-past four,

there came a young lady, she looked like a

C G

pretty young creature she sat on the grass,

she pulled up her dress, and she showed them her

C G

ruffles and laces and white fluffy duck,

she said she was learning a new way to

C G

bring up her children, so they would not spit

while the boys in the barnyard were shovelling

C G

refuse, and litter from yesterday's hunt

while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her

C G

eye at the fellow, down by the dock

he looked like a man with a sizable

C G

home in the country, with a big fence out front

if he asked her politely, she'd show him her

C G

little pet dog, who was subject to fits

and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her

small, tender hands with a movement so quick

and then she'd bend over and suck on his

C G

candy, so tasty made of butterscotch

and then he'd spread whip cream all over her

C G

cookies that she had left out on her shelf

if you think this is dirty

you can go @!#$ yourself!
