"My Teddyboy," the widow cried
"Your two fine legs were your mother’s pride    [only drums in this verse]
That stumps of a tree wouldn’t do at all
Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"

     Em             G"All foreign wars I do proclaim
   Am                    CBetween Don John and the King of Spain,
    Em                       GI’d rather have my son as he used to be
