    C            Bm              C            D
Oh, once I had a little dog, his color it was brown,

  C                 Bm          C                  D 
I taught him how to whistle, to sing and dance and run.

    G                  Em         Bm        G             Em
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,

 G                  Em     Bm     C              D
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.
[Chorus]
G    C       D    Em   C         D
Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 2]
    C            Bm              C              D
Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red,

   C              Bm            C              D 
He leaned upon a silver cane, a top hat on his head.

     G                Em         Bm        G       Em
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,

    G                 Em          Bm         C            D
And all the kings and queens he'd met, while sailing in a shoe.
[Chorus]
G    C       D    Em   C         D
Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 3]
    C            Bm                   C             D
Oh, once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather.

    C              Bm             C              D 
I'd keep them in a music box from wind and rainy weather.

     G            Em        Bm            G                   Em
And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town

   G                  Em     Bm         C            D
To bring me back some golden rings, and candy by the pound.
[Chorus]
G    C       D    Em   C         D
Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 4]
    C            Bm                     C    D
Oh, once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail,

    C           Bm                C                D 
She sat upon an oyster shell, and hatched me out a snail.

     G                 Em   Bm        G             Em
The snail it changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly,

   G               Em     Bm         C              D
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
[Chorus]
G    C       D    Em   C         D
Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
