Never play by the stairs, you’re bound to fall down,
Am                                C
Never play by the hillside, might slip and break your crown
Am                             C
Never play by the fire, it’s a danger to your health
Am                            C 
Never play by the wall, might fall and break yourself.

Ah Ahhh,

Ahhhhh,

Ah Ahh…
Am                                 C 
Never play by the river, you might tumble in and drown,
Am                           C 
Never play by the field, get filthy, dirty and brown,
Am                             C 
Never play by yourself, it’s a danger to be alone,
Am                        C 
Never stray too far away, it’s not safe outside of home.

Ah Ah Ah,

I didn’t ask to be born,
Am                     C
And I don’t think I’ll ask to die.
Am                    C 
I didn’t ask for the ground beneath my feet, I
Am                 C
Didn’t ask for the sky.
Am                 C
All that I ask, my darling,
Am                     C 
All that I really ask of you,
Am                  C
All that I ask, my darling,
Am                         C
Is that you stay here with me.
