Verse 1:
Em
This is cruel Frederick Frederick see
         Am
A horrid wicked boy was he
                                         Em
He caught the flies the poor little things
                                   Am
And tore off all their tiny wings
                                   Em
He threw the kittens down the stairs

He broke all the chairs
                           Am
And ah far worse than all beside
Am                          C
He beat his Mary 'til she cried

Verse 2:
Em
The trough was full a dog called Tray
           Am
Went out to drink one sultry day
                              Em
Well he had scarcely wet his lip
                                   Am
When cruel Fred snatched up a whip

He whipped poor Tray 'til he was sore
Em
And then he whipped him more and more
Am
At this poor Tray grew very red
Am
And he bit Fred
Am
And he bit Fred
         C
'Til he bled
        B7add4
'Til he bled

Verse 3:
Em
Well then you should have been by
                           Am
To see how Fred did scream and cry
                      Em
He had to go go to bed

His leg was very sore and red
Am
The doctor came and shook his head
