verse 1: 
   G                              F                 G 
As I went down a shady lane, at a door I chanced to knock 
                                                   F 
"Have you any pots or kettles, with rusty holes to block?" 
        G                      D 
"Well indeed I have, don't you know I have 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I have" 


verse 2: 
                                        F                G 
The misses came out to the door and she asked me to come in 
                                                                 F 
Saying, "You're welcome jolly tinker and I hope you brought your tin" 
        G                     D 
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I did 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I did" 


verse 3: 
                                        F                  G 
She took me through the kitchen and she led me through the hall 
                                                  F 
And the servants cried "The devil, has he come to block us all" 
        G                      D 
"Well indeed I have, don't you know I have 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I have" 


verse 4: 
                                       F               G 
She took me up the stairs, me lads, to show me what to do 
                                                     F 
And then she fell on the featherbed and I fell on it too 
        G                     D 
"Well indeed I did, don't you know I did 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I did" 


VERSE 5: 
                                      F            G 
She then picked up the frying pan and she began to knock 
                                                        F 
For to let the servants know, me lads, that I was at me work 
        G                     D 
"Well indeed I was, don't you know I was 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I was" 


VERSE 6: 
                                         F                 G 
She put her hand into her pocket and she pulled out twenty pounds 
                                                        F 
Said, "Take this my jolly tinker and we'll have another round" 
        G                        D 
"Well, indeed we will, don't you know we will 
      G               D            G 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed we will" 

VERSE 7: 
                                         F              G 
Well, I've been a jolly tinker for these forty years or more 
                                                 F 
Oh, but such a lovely job as that, I never did before 
        G                        D 
Well, indeed I didn't, don't you know I didn't 
      G               D     N.C. 
To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I didn't
