My Old Man Said Follow The Van

[C] My old man said, [D] Follow the van
An’ [G] don’t dilly dally on the [C] way
[E7] Off went the cart with my [Am] home packed in it
[D] I walked behind with me [G] old cock linnet
But I [C] dillied and [G7] dallied, [C] dallied and [G] dillied
[C] Lost the van and [D] don’t know where to [G7] roam,
Oh, you [C] can’t trust a [C7] special, like the [F] old time copper
When you [C] can’t find [G] your way [C] home

I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts

[C] I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, There they are all standing in a [G7] row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head [D7] Give them a twist, a flick of the wrist That’s [G7] what the showman said
[C] I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me [G7] rich There stands me wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a [C] pitch Singing [C] roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a [G7] pitch Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a [C] pitch

Show Me The Way To Go Home

[D] Show me the way to go home
I’m [G] tired and I want to go to [D] bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it [E7] went right to my [A7] head
Where [D] ever I may roam
On [G] land or sea or [D] foam
You will always hear me singing this song
[A] Show me the [A7] way to go [D] home
[A] Show me the [A7] way to go [D] home
[A] Show me the [A7] way to go [G] / home [A] /[D]/
