Treat Me Daughter Kindly
Intro: D-D-G-G D-D-A-A A-A-A-A A7-A7-D-D
| D | G |
Well | once there lived a | farmer, |
| D | A |
A | grand old soul was | he, |
He used to own a little farm,
| G |
He had an only | daughter |
| D | A |
And | her I chanced to | wed. |
And when I asked him for her hand
| A7 | D |
Was | this to me he | said. |
Chorus
| D | G |
O' | treat me daughter | kindly |
| D | A |
And | shade her from all | harm, |
And when I die I will to you
| A7 | D |
My | little house and | farm, |
| D | A |
And my | bonny sheef and | farm |
And all the little chickens
| D | G |
I | knew I loved this | darling girl |
| D | A |
And | she loved me the | same |
And when my daily work was done
| A7 | D |
With | her I would re | main |
| G |
For to watch her milk her | father's cows, |
| D | A |
And | shade them from all | harm, |
And many a glass of stout I had,
| A7 | D |
Be | fore I left the | farm. |
Chorus
| D | G |
And | now that we are | married |
| D | A |
And | settled down for | life, |
I often think upon the words
| A7 | D |
Her | father used to | say, |
| G |
For to treat his daughter | kindly |
| D | A |
And | shade her from all | harm, |
And now I am the owner of,
| A7 | D |
His | little house and | farm. |
Chorus
| A | A7 | D |
And | all the little chickens 'round the | gar | den |
