Oh, there was an old sol-dier
-6* 7  -7 -7  -7  -7 -7
And he had a wood-en leg
-6* -7 -7 -7 -7  7
He had no to-bac-co
-6* 6  -5  -5 -5  -5   -5
But to-bac-co he could beg
-3 -5  -5 -5  -5   6
An oth-er old sol-dier,
-6*7 -7 -7 -7 -7
As, sly as a fox
-6*-7  -7  -7  -7 -7  7
He al-ways had to-bac-co
-6* 6  -5  -5 -5  -5 -5
In his old to-bac-co box
