Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I s[C#]addle[G]d[F#][C#]
[F#]my
horse an[G]d I galloped away
[C#]'Til I [G]came to an ale house in town
I called for some ale at the end of the day
And here by the [C#]fire sat down

[Verse 2]
I had in [G]my [C]pocket a pen[G]ny
And a [C#]penny was all that [D]I had
I called [G]for some ale at the end of the day
[C]But a penny was all that I [G]had

[Verse 3]
I saw there two gentlemen playing at dice [Ab]They
took me for a soldier bold
With my swagger [D]and rapier and
countenance nice
Thought my pockets [G]were lined with gold

[Verse 4]
And I had in my pocket a penny [G]And
a penny was all that I had
With my swagger and rapier
and countenance [C#]nice
A penny was all that I had

[Verse 5]
"Oh soldier, [G]dear sir," they
said "do you play?"
"What stakes do you lay down?"
One said a guinea we're
meaning to play
I said [C#]"let's lay down five pound"

[Verse 6]
I had in [G]my pocket a penny
And [C]a penny was all that I had
One said a guinea we're
mean[G]ing to play
But [C#]a penny was all that I had

[Verse 7]
I took up the [G]dice and I
threw them the main
The night was free from curse
The [C]heavens I thanked for
I managed to gain
For I [G]threw down a moneyless purse

[Verse 8]
And I had in [Ab]my pocket a p[G]enny
An[D]d a penny was all [G]that I had
The heavens I thanked for
I managed to gain
A penny was all that [C#]I had

[Verse 9]
Was [G]ever a mortal as quarter
as glad
Courage galore in my spine
With the littlest money that first I had
I pray you [C#]to pour out the wine
And I had [D]in my

[Verse 10]
[G]pocket a penny
And a penny was all that I [C]had
With the littlest money that first I had
A penny [G]was all that I had

[Verse 11]
And [C#]I had in my pocket a penny
An[G]d a penny was all t[C]hat I had
[G]With the littlest money that [C#]first I had
A penny was all that I had
