I don?t want none of your weevily wheat, I don?t want none of your barley.
G      D             D       G         D      D      D     D

Take her by the lily white hand, lead her like a pigeon,
G        D       D          G      D      D      D     D
Make her dance the weevily wheat, and scatter her religion. 

Chorus


Strum pattern: I use ↓↓↑↑↓↑ except for the G ↓ ↓ G parts, where I use a rapid ↓↓↑ for each chord.

As with many folk songs, there are many versions.  I like this one because it is not only traditional,
