C5 F5
As I went out one morning
C5
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
F5
I spied the fairest damsel
C5
That ever did walk in chains
Eb5
I offer'd her my hand
C5
She took me by the arm
F5
I knew that very instant
C5
She meant to do me harm.
Eb5 F5 C5
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x)
C5 F5
"Depart from me this moment"
C5
I told her with my voice
F5
Said she, "But I don't wish to"
C5
Said I, "But you have no choice"
Eb5
"I beg you, sir", she pleaded
C5
From the corners of her mouth
F5
"I will secretly accept you
C5
And together we'll fly south".
Eb5 F5 C5
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x)
F5
Just then Tom Paine, himself
C5
Came running from across the field
F5
Shouting at this lovely girl
C5
And commanding her to yield
Eb5
And as she was letting go her grip
C5
Up Tom Paine did run
F5
"I'm sorry, sir", he said to me
C5
"I'm sorry for what she'd done".
Eb5 F5 C5
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x)
