E E D D
When the ships all go a-sailing and the men are off and gone
D D A A E E
What about the women who are up and left alone
E E D D
Do you think we sit and twiddle thumbs until our men come home
D D A A E E
There's other things to twiddle when a girl's left on her own.



E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E-D D-E E
There's other things to twiddle when your man has gone away.



E E D D
Well, I remember Nelly, she was young and she was gay
D D A A E E
She won the heart of Captain Dan but then he sailed away
D D E E
He left her high and dry with just a kiss upon the chin
D D A A E E
But as his ship went sailing out, another ship sailed in.



E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E-D D-E E
There's other things to twiddle when your man has gone away.


E E D D
Then there was Lucinda Brown, as fair as any maid
D D A A E E
Her true love went a voyaging, a sailor man by trade
D D E E
"Oh, keep the fire burning, love," those were the words he spoke
D D A A E E
So she found herself another man to keep the fire stoked.


E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E-D D-E E
There's other things to twiddle when your man has gone away.


E E D D
When Lucinda's man came back and knocked upon her door
D D A A E E
She was as glad to see him as she'd ever been before
E E D D
He left her lying in the bed, but Lucy didn't care
D D D D A A E E
'Course the poor guy in the closet sure could use a little air.


E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E-D D-E E
There's other things to twiddle when your man has gone away.


E E D D
Oh you hear a lot of stories 'bout the sailors and their sport
D D A A E E
About how every lad has got a girl in every port
E E D D
But if you added two and two, you'd figure out right quick
D D A A E E
That's just because the lasses have a lad on every ship.


E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E-D D-E E
There's other things to twiddle when your man has gone away.



E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E
There's lots of times a man will leave you broken with dismay
E E D D
Twiddly-i dee-li dee-lo, twiddly-i dee-lay
D D A A E E D D E E
There's other willy's willing to twiddle when your willy's gone away.
