Such a beautiful country I see all around

I'll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
[Verse 5]
  Dm
I know of three sources called wind, rain, and sun

     C
Very powerful are they, but they're also great fun

Treat them with respect and they'll do you no harm

        Dm
They'll work for you free every day down in Carne
[Chorus]
               C
Tooraloo, Tooralay

                                                Dm
They won't cripple or maim, or cause death or decay
[Verse 6]
      Dm
So to all you fine people, I'll make this strong plea

C
Go tell your Minister to let me go free

       Dm
If you don't try to use me, I'll do you no harm

Dm
Don't let him lock me in his house down in Carne

Tooraloo, Tooralay

                                             Dm
I'll cripple and maim, and cause death and decay
