[Verse 1]
I Cam a cobbler's Fdaughter
I'm Cthought of rude and Gmean

You have never Gseen
I've Cplagued my father's Fhead
For Cmy life I wouldn't Gwed
And my Cmother's in the Fprison 'cause of CmeF  C  F  
[Verse 2]
There Cwas a handsome Fyoung man
Who Cused to live by Gme
If CI went out, if FI went in
He'd always follow Gme
I Cnever done rue the Fday
And it Chappened as I Gsay
I Ctook him to me Fchamber Cto seeF  C  F  
[Verse 3]
I Ctook him to me Fchamber
Where Cwe could be aGlone
And Cknowing that me Fmother
And me father were at Ghome
He Ckissed me on the Fcheek
And I Cscreamed 'til I was Gweak
Me Cfather came a Frunning to the CdoorF  
[Verse 4]
He's Cjumped upon the Fyoung man
As CI was standing Gby
But he Cbrought his fist beFhind his head
And thumped him in the Geye
Me Cmother heard the Fdin
Up the Cstairs she did beGgin
With a Cbroom for a Fweapon she held ChigFh

Like a raging bull, I'd Gsay
She's Chit him on the Fhead
And the Cyoung man fell like Glead
Quite Cdead upon the Ffloor he ClayF
