WHEN FIRST I WENT A-WAGGONING, A-WAGGONING DID GO
   A                  E                    F#m               B
I FILLED MY POOR OLD PARENTS' HEARTS WITH SORROW, GRIEF AND WOE

AND MANY ARE THE HARDSHIPS THAT I HAVE SINCE GONE THROUGH

      A               E              F#m             B
I'LL BEAR IT WITH CONTENTED HEARTS UNTIL I REACH THE INN
      A                E                A                B
AND THERE I'LL SIT A-DRINKING WITH THE LANDLORD AND HIS KIN

          A              E                  F#m             B
WHEN THE FOLKS IN POWER PAY NO HEED TO THE LIKES OF ME AND YOU
      A               E                A               B
IT'S HARDSHIP FOR US WORKMAN LADS AND FORTUNE FOR THE FEW
