The boys won't leave the girls alone

C                      
Pulled me hair, stolen me comb

      G                  C
But that's alright, till I go home

"Hello, my true love are you well?"

C               F
Out she comes white as snow

         C               G               C
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye

         C            
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high

         G                    C
And the snow come travelin' through the sky

 C              
She's as sweet as apple pie

 G                       C
She'll get her own right by and by

C                F
When she gets a lad of her own

     C                      G
