Come My Little Son

C              F
Come my little son
            C        F       C
And I will tell you what to do
                           F    C
Undress yourself and get into bed
       Am                F
And a tale I'll tell to you

      C               F
It's all about your daddy
        C              Am
He's a man you seldom see
         C               F
For he had to roam, far away from home
  C        F       C
Away from you and me


   C                    F         C
Remember laddie, he's still your dad
                         Am
Though he's working far away
        C                       F
In the cold and heat, all the hours of
The week
    C         F    C
On England's motorway

 C                     F      C
Now when you fall and hurt yourself
            F      C
And get a feeling bad
C            F
It isn't any good
    C                     F
To go a running for your dad
C                        F
For the only time since you were
C                            F
Born he's had to spend with you
C                G           F       C
He was out of a job, and we hadn't a bob
                F      C
He was signing on the brew


C                   F          C
Remember laddie he's still your Dad
C                         F
And he’ll soon be home to stay
C               G      F      C
For a week or two with me and you
C                   F    C
When he’s built the motorway



Sure we'd like your Daddy here; yes
Sure it would be fine
To have him working near our home, and
To see him all the time
But beggars can’t be choosers, and we
Have to bear our load
For we need the money your Daddy earns
C                   F     C
        F        C
C                   F        C
                   F
C                    F         C
                 F
C               G          F     C
           F      C
 A-working on the roads 


C                   F          C
Remember laddie he's still your Dad
C                         F
And he’ll soon be home to stay
C               G      F      C
For a week or two with me and you
C                   F    C
