Your fresh from the farm land

He said when you ask my hand
    G#              F#   C#   F#   G#   C#
For me to tell you no, no, no, no, no

Pink champagne for me to sip

I've got no pearls to give you
     C#                             F#
I've got two arms and heart that's true
C#                              A#m
We could start with a dream or two

The poor boy came from the farm land
C#                                F#
She was the daughter of a sailor man
    C#                               A#m
The Captain says 'When he begs your hand
    D#               F#   C#   F#   G#   C#
You better tell him no, no, no, no, no'


[Chorus]

She said 'Papa don't you worry please
    G#
The poor begs me upon his knees
F#
I'd never leave this life of ease'
    D#7
And with the poor boy goes


[Verse 4]
    C#                                 A#m
The captain kissed her and he went to sea

He brings me pearls on every trip
F#
Pink champagne for me to sip
    D#7                       F#     C#     F#     G#     C#
And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know


[Verse 5]
     C#                   A#m
Your daddy's given you a home
           C#                     F#
But you've got nobody when he is gone
F#
I'll go and leave you all alone
       D#               F#   C#   F#   G#   C#
If the answer is still no, no, no, no, no
