[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm [D]eigh[Em]teen years old today,[E][Em]
[Esus4]mama, and I'm lon[D]ging[Esus4] to be we[D]d[Em]
So buy for me a young [E]man [Bm]to comfort [D]me,

You must buy for me a [D]young man
who will stay with me all [Em]night
[D]And I'll [A]roll him in my [D]arm[Esus4] s
[D]He'll be [Bm]my hear[D]t's deligh[Em]t.

[Verse 2]
Ah, [Em]hold your tongue,
dear [Esus4]daughter then [D]or [Bm]your folds [D]I will pull d[Em]own.
[E]Your sil[Em]ks and satins I wil[Bm]l pull down,
you must wear [D]your morning [Em]gown.
[Esus4]I'll send[A] you to the meado[Esus4]ws
for to [D]rake and [Bm]mow the [Em]hay
[Esus4]With your pike[E] an d[Em]
shaft all [D]in your hand
You must [Bm]earn your [D]drink and
[Em]take.[Esus4]

[Em]
Ah, [G]hold your tongue, dear daughter [A]then,
I was [G]forty [Em]before I wed,
Al[E]though it [Em]was late,
I [Bm]thought it no weight to carry my maiden[Em]head.
[Esus4]Well that may be th[A]e way with you,[D]
mama, but [Bm]it isn't the way [Em]with me,
For I'm young [E]and [D]airy, light and crazy and [Bm]married I long to [Em]be.
