[G] [D] [G]
[G] I'm a broken-hearted keelman and I'm [D7] over head in [G] love
With a [D] young lass from Gateshead
and I [Em] call her my [D] dove.
Her [G] name's Cushie Butterfield and she [Am] sells yellow [D] clay
And her [G] cousin's a [Am] muckman
and they [D] call him Tom [G] Gray
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
[G] Her eyes is like two holes in a [D7] blanket burnt [G] through
And her [D] breath in the morning would [Em] scare a young [D] coo
And [G] when I hear her shouting “Will you [Am] buy any [D] clay?”
Like a [G] candy man's [Am] trumpet steals me [D] young heart a-[G]way
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
You'll [G] oft see her doon at Sandgate
when the [D7] fresh herring comes [G] in
Like a [D] geet bag of sawdust tied [Em] round with a [D] string
And she [G] wears geet galoshes
and her [Am] stockings was once [D] white
And her [G] bedgown it's [Am] lilac
and her [D] hat's never [G] straight
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
When I [G] axed her to marry us she [D7] started to [G] laugh
“Now [D] none of your monkey tricks for I [Em] take no such[D] chaff”
Then she [G] started a bubbling and she [Am] roared like a [D] bull
And the [G] lads on the[Am] Keel says A's [D] nowt but a [G] fool
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
She says "Th e[G] lad that gets us he'll have to [D7] work every [G] day
And [D] when he comes home at night he'll [Em] need to seek [D] clay
And [G] when he’s away seeking it A’ll [Am] make balls an’ [D] sing
And [G] we’ll may the [Am] keel row that [D] my laddie's [G] in."
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
She's a [G] big lass and a bonny lass and [C] she likes her [D7] beer
And they [G] call her Cushie [Am] Butterfield and I [D] wish she was [G] here
