Come up the Stairs - Traditional Capo II
Dm C
Young Molly was handsome and pretty.
Dm C
I dressed and put on me new coat.
Dm C F
And it´s off to the mainland to meet her;
G Am Dm
meself and me small rowin´ boat.
Dm C
I hadn´t gone more than a furlong,
Dm C
when holes in the bottom did sprout.
Dm C F
A big wave come up and capsized me;
G Am Dm
meself and me small rowin´n boat.
Chorus:
Dm C Dm F
Come up the stairs, up the stairs, come up the stairs, Molly-O.
Dm C F G Am Dm
Come up the stairs, up the stairs; bring something to warm me old bones.
Dm C
When up there arose a sea serpent;
Dm C
he was forty feet long, now, or more.
Dm C F
He had one look at my sullen features
G Am Dm
and offered to take me ashore.
Dm C
He said: Where were you goin´n in such weather?
Dm C
I was goin´ courtin´ Molly, says I.
Dm C F
For there´s no young ones left on the island,
G Am Dm
so how´s a young man to get by.
Chorus:
Dm C Dm F
Come up the stairs, up the stairs, come up the stairs, Molly-O.
Dm C F G Am Dm
Come up the stairs, up the stairs; bring something to warm me old bones.
Dm C
Why don´t you and Molly get married?
Dm C
And then you could both stay at home.
Dm C F
For it´s better to suffer in marriage,
G Am Dm
than riskin´ your life in the foam.
Dm C
Tonight I will ask her to marry,
Dm C
I´m hopin´ that she will agree.
Dm C F
For I´d rather be poor and be married,
G Am Dm
than losin´ me life on the sea.
Chorus:
Dm C Dm F
Come up the stairs, up the stairs, come up the stairs, Molly-O.
Dm C F G Am Dm
Come up the stairs, up the stairs; bring something to warm me old bones.
