[Verse 1]
[A]I a[G]m[Em][A][Em][A][D]
[A]a y[C]oung [A]man
from the town of Kyandra
I've married a young woman
[D]to [Bm]comfort my ho[A]me
She goes [G]out and [Em]she leaves [A]me
and cruelly [G]deceives me
And [A]leaves me with a baby
that's none of me own
Oh dear Ru, the day [D]ever [A]I married
How I wish I was [G]single [A]again
With his [Em]weepi[A]ng a[Em]n d wailin[G]g
and [A]rockin' the [G]cradle
And [A]rockin' the baby
that's none of me old
While I'm at work,
[G]me wife's [D]on [Em]the r[A]antan'
On the rantan' with some
other young man
She goes [G]out and [Em]she leaves [A]me
and cruelly de[Em]ceives [G]me
And [A]leaves me with a baby
that's none of me own
Oh dear Ru, the day ever I married
How I wish I was [G]single [A]again
With its weeping [Em]an d wa[A]ilin[G]g
[A]an d rockin' the [G]cradle
An[A]d rockin' a baby
that's none of me old
Now [C]all you [A]young men
with [Em]a fan[G]cy to [A]marriage
Be sure you leave those flash girls alone
For [G]by the [Em]Lord, [A]Harry,
if one you should marry
[G]The[A]y'll leave you with a baby
that's none of your own
Oh, dear Ruth, the day [D]ever [A]I married
How I wish I was [G]single [A]again
With its weeping [A]an d wailing,
[G]and[A] rockin' the cradle,
And rockin' the baby that's none [A]of me [A]old.
