4 5 5 5 -5 -5

There was an old dark-ey

-5 -5 6 -6 -5 5 4
-9 -9 9 -10 -9 8 7
And his name was Un-cle Ned

4 -4 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4
7 -8 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -8
And he died long a-go long a-go

4-4 5 5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 5 4
7-8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 9 9 8 7
He had no wool on the top of his head

4 -4 5 5 4 -4 -4 -3 4
7 -8 8 8 7 -8 -8 -7 7
In the place where the wool ought to grow

6 6 6 6 6 6
9 9 9 9 9 9
Then lay down the shov-el

6 6 6 -5 5 -4
9 9 9 -9 8 -8
And the hoe, o – o – o

5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4
8 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -8
Hang up the fid-dle and the bow

4 -4 5 5 -5
7 -8 8 8 -9
For there’s no more work

-5 6 6 6 -6
-9 9 9 9 -10
For poor Un-cle Ned

-6 6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 4
-10 9 8 7 -8 -8 -8 7
He’s gone where the good dark-ies go
