"Oh Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,

"Would you like a soldier of your son, Ted?

With a scarlet cloak and a fine cocked hat,
                 DmDm
Mrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?"


		[chorsu]

   		With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa,
        FF                  C majorC

[verse2]
   DmDm
Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
   FF         C majorC
And after seven years or more

she spied a ship come into the bay
            DmDm
with her son from far away

[verse3]
   DmDm
"Oh, Captain dear, where have you been.
    FF               C majorC
Have you been out sailin' on the Mediteren'.

Have you any news of my son Ted.
            DmDm
Is he livin' or is he dead?"


[chorus]


[verse4]
   DmDm
Now came Ted without any legs
   FF             C majorC
And in their place two wooden pegs

She kissed him a dozen times or two
             DmDm
Saying "My God Ted is it you?"

[verse5]
   DmDm
"Now were you drunk or were you blind
   FF              C majorC
When you left your two fine legs behind?

Or was it walking upon the sea
               DmDm
That wore your two fine legs away?"

[chorus]


[verse6]
  DmDm
"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
   FF             C majorC
When I left my two fine legs behind.

a cannon ball on the fifth of May
            DmDm
Tore my two fine legs away."

[verse7]
    DmDm
"Now Teddy boy," the widow cried
    FF                C majorC
"Your two fine legs was your mother's pride

Them stumps of a tree won't do at all
                  DmDm
Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"


[chorus]


[verse8]
   DmDm
All foreign wars, I do proclaim
   FF            C majorC
Live on blood and a mother's pain

I'd rather have my son as he used to be
                    DmDm
than the king of America and his whole navy


[chorus]
