<D Bm G D x4>
She was once an attraction at the county fair

and now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs and she loves it here make no mistake cause she can earn her keep by chasin snakes

<D Bm G D x2>
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman who was also a mongoose <D Bm G D x2> A

(D Bm G D)x4
She was born in May ninety years ago

In a little town outside Buffalo but the town folk feared her and they chased her away and now she's happy with a place to stay

<D Bm G D x2>
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman who was also a mongoose

(D Bm G D)x4
She trapped a rattler out behind the barn

and she let it go without any harm then she came inside for a cup of tea and she spoke for a while with my brother and me

<D Bm G D x2>
chasing after feild mice running through the high grass 

thats what she loves to do and if she's happy as a mongoose, shouldn't bother me or you

<D Bm G D x2>
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman who was also a mongoose (D Bm G D) x2 A <end on> D Any comments or questions send them to [email protected] or [email protected] ([email protected] no longer exists..i moved)
