[Verse 1]
[D]I am a brisk l[A]ad and m[Bm]y fortune is bad[A]
An[Bm]d if e 'er I get [C]rich,
[A]it's [Asus4]a wonder
[D]I spent all my m[A]oney o[Bm]n
girls and strong [A]beer
[Bm]What riches I [C]had [A]are all [Asus4]plundered[D]
Field [A]after [D]field off [Em]to market I sent
[Asus4]Till the [A]land was [Bm]all gone
[A]and the [G]money was
spent
[A]My hea[Bm]rt was the hea[A]rt
that [G]I never did repent
[A]And t[Bm]hat's what put me in[C]
[A]to limbo[Asus4][D][G][C][A]
[D]Oh, once I could run[A] while the[Bm] others did lie
[A]Str[Bm]ut like a cro[C]w in a g[A]utter[Asus4]
[D]The people all sai[A]d the[Bm]y saw me passing by
[A]The[Bm]re goes
Mr.
[C]Forbid[A]den, a float[Asus4]er
[D]To the top and[A] top gal[D]lant
[Em]I hoisted my sails
[Asus4]With a fl[A]imsy cr[Bm]avat an[Em]
d a [G]wig with three [A]tails
[Bm]Oh, now I am r[A]eady t[G]o
gnaw my own [A]nails
[Bm]And drink the cold w[C]ater
[A]of [Asus4]limbo[D][Bm][C][A]
[D]Oh, I had an unc[A]le who[Bm] lived in the
[A]West
An[Bm]d he heard of my[C] sad dis[A]as[Asus4]ter[D]
But still after [A]that he [Bm]could never take [A]rest
[Bm]Oh, his sorrows came f[C]aster
an[A]d f[Asus4]aster
[D]He [A]came to the jail [Em]to
see my sad [Asus4]case
[A]And as [Bm]soon as I saw [Em]him,
I [G]knew his [A]odd face
An[Bm]d I stood gazing at[A]
him [G]like one in disgrace
[A]And I[Bm] wished myself safe[C]
out of [A]limbo[D][Bm][G][C][A]
[D]Jack, if I should set[A] you[Bm] once
more on your leg[A]s
An[Bm]d put you in [C]credit an[A]d fashion
[Asus4]Oh, will [D]you lay off[A]
all [Bm]those rakish old [A]ways
An[Bm]d try for to gov[C]ern your per[A]son?
[Asus4]Uncle say[D]s[A]
[D]I, if [Em]you will set me [A]free,
I [Bm]surely will al[A]ways be [G]ruled by thee
[A]And I'l[Bm]l labour my bon[Em]es for the good of my [G]sou[A]l,
[Bm]see myself miles[C] out of limb[Asus4]o[D][Bm][G][C][A]
[D]Then out of his pur[A]se he
[Bm]pulled 3 ,000 [A]pounds
[Bm]He counted it up[C] in bright g[A]uineas
[D]And when I was fre[A]e of tho[Bm]se prison escapes
[A]Oh,[Bm] I went to see
[C]Peggy [A]an d
Jeannie
[D]In [A]my old ragged clo[D]thes they
[Em]knew not of my gold
[Asus4]And they [A]all [Bm]turned me out[Em]
in the wet [A]an d the cold
Yet I laughed for to hear how
the sau[G]cers did [A]scold
[Bm]The night [G]they let m[C]e out of l[A]imbo
[D][Bm][G][C][A][D][Bm][C][A]
You
