Marie Lloyd don't dilly dally on the way! My old man said, "Follow the van"
Song :
E
C G7 C
We had to move away,
G7 C
'cos the rent we couldn't pay,
D D7 G
The moving van came round just after dark;
G7 D7 G
There was me and my old man,
G7 C
shoving things inside the van,
D D7 G
Which we'd often done before let me remark.
G G7
We packed all that could be packed
C C7
in the van and that's a fact;
D7 G7 C
And we got inside all we could get inside,
D D7
Then we packed all we could pack
G G7
on the tailboard at the back,
Am D7 G
Till there wasn't any room for me to ride.
Chorus :
C D7
My old man said, "Follow the van,
G7 C
don't dilly dally on the way!"
E7 Am
Off went the cart with the home packed in it,
D D7 G D7 G7
I walked behind with me old cock linnet.
C G7 C G7
But I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied,
C D7 G
Lost the van and don't know where to roam.
C A Dm G
I stopped on the way to have the old half-quartern,
C G7 C
And I can't find my way home.
