Fireman's Not For Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Come all you young maidens,
take a [D]warning from [G]me.
Shun all ancient firemen
and [C]their [D]company.
He'll [G]tell you he loves you
in [C]all kinds of [D]lies.
But the [G]one that he loves
is the [D]train that he [G]drives.
I once loved a fireman
and [D]he said he loved [G]me.
He took me out walkin' into [C]the country
[D]He [G]hugged me and kissed me,
en[C]gaged in my [D]eyes
And [G]said, you're as nice as the [D]845[G]
He said, my dear Molly,
just [D]say you'll be [G]mine
Just give me the signal
and [C]let's clear the [D]line
My [G]fires, are burning, my [C]steam, it is high
[D]If you don[G]'t take the brakes off,
I [D]think I will [G]die.
I gave him this answer,
sayin' [D]don't be su[G]preme,
For no local fireman
shall [C]ever have [D]me.
He'll take [G]all your lovin'
and [C]when you're in [D]need,
He [G]races away at the top of [D]his [G]speed.
A sailor comes home
when his [D]voyage is done,
[G]A soldier gets weary of[D]
fol[C]lowing [D]the drum,
A [G]collier will cleave to [D]his loved [C]one [D]for life,
But a [G]fireman's one love
is [D]the engine his wife.
