   FF
When I was a lad I was so glad
         C majorC
To go out in the daytime

With me fork, a bottle and a cork
          FF
To help out in the haytime
FF
Tossin' hay one fine day
         C majorC
I met young Lucy Bailey

And I said my dear "Are you often here"

She said "Yes sir, twice daily"

Well we had such fun in the summer sun

So sweet and pure but I wasn't sure
         FF
If that girl was willin'
 FF
Until one day among the hay
        C majorC
We were working gaily
     C majorC
When she up's and slips and her garters ripped
            FF
And I went there twice daily

The time has come to pay now"

"The girl you'll wed", the old man said

You won't sit there twice daily"

So the very next day in the month of May

We held the ceremony

And we paid off the vicar with a gallon of liquor
              FF
And we rode to church on a pony
  FF
To Lucy's joy we had a boy
       C majorC
What a little darlin'
   C majorC
He's round and fat as a Cheshire cat
       FF
As perky as a starlin'

Forty years together

Tho' we often stray where we tossed the hay

In that old time summer weather

Well, kids we've got ten or more

I still go there twice daily
