Come away;
[C#7]teach me, sweetheart.
[A7]Come on past,
[C#7]brave young bachelors.
[D]I'm alone;
[E]teach me, sweetheart.
[A]My mother in law was [Bm]standing by the stove
[C#m]hissing like a snake, hissing like a snake,
[E]hissing like a snake.
She gave orders to spill my blood;
she gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
[A7]I thought, I thought, [C#7]and I thought some more.
Come away;
teach me sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.

My father in law was lying on his bed
growling like a dog, growling like a dog,
growling like a dog.
He gave orders to spill my blood; he gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more.
Come away;
teach me sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.
My sister in law was sitting on her stoop
crawing like a crow, crawing like a crow,
crawing like a crow.
She gave orders to spill my blood;
she gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
[C#m] [Cm] [Bm] [E]
My brother in law was leaning on the love-seat
tapping with his tail, tapping with his tail,
purring like a cat.
He gave orders to spill my blood;
he gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
[C#7]teach me, sweetheart.
[A7]Come on past,
[C#7]brave young bachelors.
