Song :
C
C7 F Bb F
I’m a young girl, and have just come over,
C7 F G7 C
Over from the country where they do things big,
C7 F Bb F
And amongst the boys I’ve got myself a lover,
C7 F G C7 F C7
And since I’ve got a lover, why I don’t care a fig.
F Bb C7
The boy I love is up in the gallery,
F G7 C
The boy I love is looking now at me,
Ddim7 F Bb G7
There he is, can’t you see, waving his handkerchief,
C7 F Bb F
As merry as a robin that sings on a tree.
C7 F Bb F
The boy that I love, they call him a cobbler,
C7 F G7 C
But he’s not a cobbler, allow me to state.
C7 F Bb F
For Johnny is a tradesman and he works in the Boro’1
C7 F G C7 F C7
Where they sole and heel them, whilst you wait.
F Bb C7
The boy I love is up in the gallery,
F G7 C
The boy I love is looking now at me,
Ddim7 F Bb G7
There he is, can’t you see, waving his handkerchief,
C7 F Bb F
As merry as a robin that sings on a tree.
C7 F Bb F
Now, If I were a Duchess and had a lot of money,
C7 F G7 C
I’d give it to the boy that’s going to marry me.
C7 F Bb F
But I haven’t got a penny, so we’ll live on love and kisses,
C7 F G C7 F C7
And be just as happy as the birds on the tree.
F Bb C7
The boy I love is up in the gallery,
F G7 C
The boy I love is looking now at me,
Ddim7 F Bb G7
There he is, can’t you see, waving his handkerchief,
C7 F Bb F
As merry as a robin that sings on a tree.
