Intro: F   Bb F   Bb F   Bb F

Verse
F
I was told by my Aunt, I was told by my mother
     C                         F
That going to a wedding is the makings of another
      Bb                       F
Well, if this be so, then I'll go without a bidding
         Bb   F
Oh, kind Providence, won't you send me to a wedding

              Bb   F
And it's, oh, dear me
            Bb
How will it be
     F
If I die an old maid
       C  F
In the garret

Verse
F
Now there's my sister Jean, she's not handsome or good looking
C                      F
Scarcely sixteen and a fella she was courting
                 Bb            F
Now she's twenty-four, she's a son and a daughter
           Bb    F
Here am I, forty-four and I've never had an offer

              Bb   F
And it's, oh, dear me
            Bb
How will it be
     F
If I die an old maid
       C  F
In the garret

Verse
F
I can cook and I can sew, I can keep a house right tidy
C                          F
Rise up in the morning and get the breakfast ready
                        Bb              F
There's nothing in this wide world that makes my heart so cheery
         Bb  F
As a wee fat man to call me his own Deary

              Bb   F
And it's, oh, dear me
            Bb
How will it be
     F
If I die an old maid
       C  F
In the garret

Verse
F
Oh, come landsman or come townsman, come tinker or come tailor
     C                          F
Come fiddler, come dancer, come ploughman or come sailor
                    Bb             F
Come rich man, come poor man, come fool or come witty
         Bb     F
Come any man at all, won't you marry out of pity?

              Bb   F
And it's, oh, dear me

How will it be
