Introduction:
C G
There was an old farmer who lived on a rock,
Am F
he sat in the meadow, just shaking his
C G
fist at the boys who were down by the crick,
Am F
their feet in the water, their hands on their
C G
marbles and playthings and hand half-past four,
Am F
there came a young lady, she looked like a
C G
pretty young creature she sat on the grass,
Am F
she pulled up her dress, and she showed them her
C G
ruffles and laces and fluffy white duck,
Am F
she said she was learning a new way to
C G
bring up her children, so they would not spit
Am F
while the boys in the barnyard were shoveling
C G
refuse, and litter from yesterday's hunt
Am F
while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her
C G
eye at the fellow, down by the dock
Am F
he looked like a man with a sizable
C G
home in the country, with a big fence out front
Am F
if he asked her politely, she'd show him her
C G
little pet dog, who was subject to fits
Am F
and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her
C G
small, tender hands with a movement so quick
Am F
and then she'd bend over and suck on his
C G
candy, so tasty made of butterscotch
Am F
and then he'd spread whip cream all over her
C G
cookies that she had left out on her shelf
Am
if you think this is dirty
