C My old man said, D7 "Follow the van,
An' G7 don't dilly dally on the C way!"
E7 Off went the cart with my Am home packed in it,
D7 I walked behind with me G old cock linnet.
But I C dillied and G7 dallied C dallied and G7 dillied
C Lost the van and D7 don't know where to G roam G7
Oh, you C can't trust the C7 specials F like the old-time Dm coppers
When you C can't find G7 your way C home.
C Show me the way to go C7 home
I'm F tired and I want to go to C bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's D7 gone right to my G7 head
No C matter where I C7 roam
Over F land or sea or E7 foam
You can C always hear me Am singing this song
G7 Show me the way to go C home.
