[Verse 1]
Tell you [D]about them [A]sobbin' [D]women
Who [G]lived in the [A]Roman days
[D]It see[G]ms that they all[Em] went
[D]swimmin'
While their men was off to [A]graze
Well, a [D]Roman troop was ridin' by
And saw them [G]in their mi -o [A]-mi
So they [D]took them [G]all back [D]home to [Bm]dry
At [D]least that's what Plutarch says
Oh, [A]yes, them [D]wo men was sobbin',
[G]sobbin', sobbin'
Fit to be [D]tied
Every muscle was throbbin',
throbbin'
From that riotous [G]ride
[A]Seems they cried and [D]kissed
and kissed and cried
All [G]over that Roman countryside
So [A]don't [D]forget that
When [Em]you're tak[A]ing a [D]bride
[Em]Sob and [A]fit to be [D]tied
From [Em]that [A]ri otous [D]ride
[Em][A][D][G]
[Em]They never did return their [D]plunder
The [G]victor gets [Em]all the [D]loot
They [G]carried them [Em]home by
[F#m]thun der
[D]Two rotundas, [Em]small but [Asus4]cute
An[A]d y[D]ou never seen, so they tell me,
such downright [G]do mesticity
[A]With a Roman [G]baby [F#m]on each [D]knee
named Claudius [A]and [D]Brut
Oh yes, and the women was sobbing, sobbing,
sobbing, [G]passing them [D]nights[G]
[D]While the Romans was going out[Em],
hobnob[D]bing, stagnafight[G]s[Em]
[A]They kept [D]occupied by sowing
lots of [G]little old [A]toggies
for them [G]tots and [D]saying[G]
[A]Someday, [D]women[Em] folk
[A]shall have [D]rights
[G]Pressin' [A]over their backs
Just [D]soin'
[Em]While the Ro[A]mans had [G]fights
[A]Now when the menfolk
went to [D]fetch them
The women would [A]not be fetched
[F#m]It see[G]ms when the Romans
[D]catch them
[A]Their [D]lady friend[Em]s they [A]catch
Right! Now [D]let this be, because it's true
A [G]lesson to the likes of [A]you
Rough them [D]up like [G]them their Romans do
Or [Em]else they'll [A]think you're [D]tenched
[A]Oh, [D]yes, that moment was sobbing, sobbing,
sobbing, [G]pockets of [D]tears.
Mighty sad.
Unaccountable, daubing, daubing,
[F#m]wriggly, [G]rattled their [A]ears.
[Bbdim]And that ain't a[A]ll. they a[D]c
ted angry and annoyed.
But [G]secretly, [A]they was [G]overjoyed.
You [D]might [G]recall [F#m]that w[D]hen
[Em]corralling [A]your [D]steers.
Oh, oh, oh,
[Em]oh, them poor little [D]dears.[Bm][Em][D]

[Eb]Oh, yes, them [Bb]sovereign women
[Eb]Oh, yes, them [Ab]sovereign women
[Adim]And thou[Eb]gh they'll be a sov[Ab]
ereign for a [D]while[G]
