                F                       C"Would you like a soldier of your son, Ted?

With a scarlet cloak and a fine cocked hat,
                                 DmMrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?"


		[chorsu]
                              Dm     		With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa,

[verse2]
     DmMrs. McGrath lived on the shore
      F                 CAnd after seven years or more

she spied a ship come into the bay
                        Dmwith her son from far away

[verse3]
     Dm"Oh, Captain dear, where have you been.
       F                             CHave you been out sailin' on the Mediteren'.

Have you any news of my son Ted.
                       DmIs he livin' or is he dead?"


[chorus]


[verse4]
      DmNow came Ted without any legs
     F                         CAnd in their place two wooden pegs

She kissed him a dozen times or two
                         DmSaying "My God Ted is it you?"

[verse5]
      Dm"Now were you drunk or were you blind
      F                            CWhen you left your two fine legs behind?

Or was it walking upon the sea
                              DmThat wore your two fine legs away?"


[chorus]


[verse6]
    Dm"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
     F                         CWhen I left my two fine legs behind.

a cannon ball on the fifth of May
                       DmTore my two fine legs away."

[verse7]
       Dm"Now Teddy boy," the widow cried
       F                               C"Your two fine legs was your mother's pride

Them stumps of a tree won't do at all
                                    DmWhy didn't you run from the cannon ball?"


[chorus]


[verse8]
      DmAll foreign wars, I do proclaim
      F                       CLive on blood and a mother's pain

I'd rather have my son as he used to be
                                        Dmthan the king of America and his whole navy


[chorus]
