[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bb][D][B][A][C][B][F#m][D][Bb][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was a lady's maid down [A]in drury lane
My mistress, she was good to me; my [D]master,
just the same
Along came [A]a sailor, happy as could be
And he was the cause of [D]all my misery
With his Bell Bottom Trousers,
[A]coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor [D]and he loves her too.
He asked me for a candle
to light [A]him up to bed
He asked me for a kerchief
to tie around [D]his head
And I, like a silly girl, think[A]ing it no harm
Lay down beside him,
[D]just to keep him warm
With his Bell Bottom Trousers,
[A]coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor [E]and [D]he
loves [A]her [D]too.
Early in the mornin',
be[A]fore the break of day
A sawbuck note he left for me
be[D]fore he went away
And he left a message,
that [A]if I have a son
Let him be a sailor,
if he [D]wants to have some fun
With his Bell Bottom Trousers,
[A]coat of navy [F#m]blue[A]
She loves [E]her sailor and
[D]he loves her [A]too.[D]
If it is a daughter, bounce [A]her on your knee
And if it is a boy,
send the [D]bugger out to sea
Bell Bottom Trousers, coat [A]of navy blue
Oh, he'll climb the riggin',
like the [D]sailors used to do

[Verse 2]
[D]If my sailor I can't find
[A]on the bounding main,
I am hopeful he will soon
[D]come home safe again.
So we can get married,
and [A]raise a family
Dress up all their kiddies in
sailor's[D]dungarees:

[Outro 1]
