[Verse 1]
[C]Once I loved a [Am]young girl
[A]as I love my life,
[Am]And to k[Bm]eep her in f[C#m]lesh company
[C]has [Am]ruined my [Em]life,
[B]Has [C#m]ruined [A]my life
like a [Bm]great many more.
If [Am]it hadn't been for Flesh Company
[C#m]I shou[Am]ld never have been so poor[A]
[Am]So it's [C]take the yellow handkerchief
[Am]in remembr[A]ance of me
An[B]d tie i[Bm]t round y[C#m]our neck, l[B]ove,
in [A]Flesh Com[Em]pany[Am]
[C#m]Flesh Company, [Am]my boys,[A]
[Am]like a great [B]many more
[Bm]If i[A]t hadn't been for Flea's company,
[Am]I should never have [A]been so poor.
[Am]Once I [C#m]had a colour [A]as red as a rose,
[B]But [Bm]now it's [C#m]as pale [Am]as
a lily that [Em]grows,
[C#m]Like a flower in the garden
[Am]with [A]all[E] my col[Bm] our gone.
Oh, [B]you see [Am]what I am coming to
through [A]loving this one
So [C#m]it's take the yellow handkerchief
[A]in remembrance of me
[Am]And [Bm]tie it round your neck,
loving
[Em]Flesh Company
[C#m]Flesh Company, my [Am]boys,
like a great many [Bm]more
If [A]it hadn't [Am]been for [A]Flesh Company,
[Am]I shou[A]ld never
have been so poor.
[C#m]With fiddling and [Am]dan cing
[A]was all my delight,
[B]And to keep [Bm]her in Flesh Company
[C#m]has ru[A]ined my[Em] life.
[Am]Flesh [E]Company, [A]my boys,
[Am]like a [A]great many [Bm]more
If [Bb]it hadn't [A]been for Flesh Company,
[Am]I should nev[A]er have been
so poor
[C#m]So it's take the yellow
handkerchief
[Am]in remembrance of [Bb]me
[C]And [Bm]tie it round your neck, love,
in [A]Flesh Com[Am]pany
Flesh [C#m]com pa[A]ny, my bo[Am]ys,
like a great many [Bm]more
If [B]it hadn't [Am]been for flesh company
[Bb]I should never have been so poor
