this song is a very very simple song great for beginning guitarists with a good sense of humor!
CThere was an old farmer who lived on a Grock
He sat in the meadow just shaking Chis
Fist at some boys who were down by the Gcrick
Their feet in the water, their hands on their
CMarbles and play things at a half passed Gfour
There came a young lady who looked like a
CPretty, young preacher
She sat on the graGss, 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 shoveling
CRefuse, and litter from yesterday's Ghunt
While the girl in the meadow was rubbing her
CEyes 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 butterGscotch
And then he'd spread whip cream all over her
CCookies that she had left out on her Gshelf
If you think this is dirty
You can go f*ck Cyourself!

C G

There was an old farmer who lived on a rock

He sat in the meadow just shaking his

Fist at some boys who were down by the crick

Their feet in the water, their hands on their

C G

Marbles and play things at a half passed four

There came a young lady who looked like a

Pretty, young preacher

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 shoveling

C G

Refuse, and litter from yesterday's hunt

While the girl in the meadow was rubbing her

C G

Eyes 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

C G

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 f*ck yourself!
