Yan tan tether mether pip she counted 
Am                          E 
Up upon Swaledale steep and bleak

Yan tan tether mether pip she counted 
Am                               E 
Fine warm wool for a gentleman's shoulderblades 
Am                    E       Am 
Yan tan tether mether pip she said.

Over the heather when the weather is cold

Fine warm wool for a lady's counterpane,

Yan tan tether mether pip she said. 

       Am                              E 
On her back in the bracken with frozen bones

Yan tan tether mether pip she counted 
Am                         E 
No such wool for Old Molly Metcalfe, 
Am                    E       Am 
Yan tan tether mether pip she said.
