THE HONEST PLOUGHMAN chrom
American folk song
Key: G

 -1   3   3  -3  3  -2*  -1  -1
Come all you jol-ly hus-band-men
-1   3   3  -3 -4  4
And lis-ten to my song
-4   4   -5   3   -3  3  3   -2*  -1
I’ll re-late the life of a plough-man
-1  -1  -5  4   -3   3
And not de-tain you long
-5 -5  -5   4 -4 -3 3 -2*
My fa-ther was a farm-er
-1  -1   -5     4   -4   4
Who ban-ished grief and woe
-44 -5  3  -3  3 -2* -1  -1
My moth-er was a dai-ry maid
  -1    -1  -5   4  -3 3
That’s nine-ty years a-go
