-4-3 3-1 -1-1* 2  -3  -3
I snum I am a Yan-kee lad
-3 -4   4    -3  -2*  2 -1  3
And I guess I’ll sing a dit-ty
-4-3 3 -1  -1 -1*  2  -3  -3
And if you do not rel-ish it
-4   4     -3  -2* -3  -3  3
The more ‘twill be the pit-y
-3-4 -3  3  -2*   3   -3    -3   -3
That is, I think, I should have been

A plague-y sight more fin-ished man
-4-3 3  -1   -1 -1*  2  -3   -3

-1 -1*  2  -3 -3
Tol-le-lol-de-ray
-3 -4   4      -3   -2* -3 -3   3   3
But I warn’t ‘cause I’m a coun-try man
