6   6   5  5   4     6
Oh she was a lady’s maid,
6 6  -5   -5   5   -5
I do not know her name,
-5  -5 -5   -4 -4   4   4  -5
Her master, he was kind to her,
-5   -5  5    5   -4  5
Her mistress was the same.
5  6    5  5  4  6   6   6   -5 -5 5  -5
Along came a sailor who said oh marry me,
-5  -5   -4   -4   4  -5    -5   5   5  -4  5
And now look what happened while he was at sea.

Chorus:
 6    5  5    4  6     6   -5 -5 5  -5
Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue,

He’ll climb the riggin like his daddy used to do.

(repeat chorus)

Verse 2:

Oh how could she know that he
Was only fooling her.
He bought the ring, the very thing
Which maidens hearts prefer.
But he had a wife way across a distant sea
The baby is bouncing on a maiden knee.

Chorus
