[Verse 1]
A [Am]dia [E]logu[Am]e I'[E]ll tel[Am]l
you as [D]true as me [Am]life
Between a coal owner and
a poor pitman's [E]wife
As she [Am]was a -walkin' out
[Dm]on the h[D]ighway
[Am]She met a coal owner
and this she did [E]say
Derry
[Am]Down,
Down,
Down,
Derry
[E]Down[Am]
Good morning,
Lord
Firedown, the [D]woman she [Am]said
I'll do you no harm, sir, don't be [E]afraid
If [Am]you'd been where I've
been the [Dm]most of me [Am]life
You wouldn't turn pale at a
poor pitman's [E]wife
Derry [Am]down, down, [E]down,
[Am]derry [G]dow[Am]n[E][Am]
Then where have you been,
the [D]owner [Dm]he c[Am]ried
I've been in hell, the woman [E]replied
Have [Am]you been in hell,
[E]tel[Dm]l me [D]rig[Dm]ht pla[Am]in
How you can't drive to get out again
[E]Derry
[Am]Down,
Down,
[E]Down,
[Am]Derry
[E]Down[Am]
I said the [D]truth [E]I w[D]ill t[E]ell[Am]
They're turning the poor
folk all [E]out of hell
[Am]This to make room for the
[D]rich [E]wicked [Dm]race[Am]
There are a great number
of them in that [E]place
Derry
[Am]Down,
Down,
Down,
[E]Derry
[Am]Down[E][Am]
How does the devil behave [D]in that [Am]place?
Sir, he is cruel to the rich wicked [E]race
[Am]Far more cruel than [Dm]you c[D]an s[Dm]up po[Am]se
Like a mad bull [E]with a ring
through his nose
Derry [Am]down, [E]down, [G]dow[E]n,
Derry [Am]down[E][Am]
[E]A good woman, say[Am]s he,
I must bid you farewell
You give me a dismal account about [E]hell
If [Am]this be all true that you
[Dm]say unto m[Am]e
I'll home like a whippet when
[E]my [Am]foremen agree
[E]Derry [Am]down, down, [E]down,
[Am]Derry [E]dow[Am]n[E][Am]
If you be an owner, sir, take my advice
Agree with your men and give them full [E]prize
[Am]If you do not, I k[Dm]now very w[Am]ell
You'll be in great danger of going to hell
[E]Daddy dow[Am]n, down, down,

[Outro 1]
Daddy down
