Treat Me Daughter Kindly

Intro: D-D-G-G D-D-A-A A-A-A-A A7-A7-D-D

	D	G
Well	once there lived a	farmer,

	D	A
A	grand old soul was	he,

He used to own a little farm,

	A7	D
Way	down the count	ry

	G
He had an only	daughter

	D	A
And	her I chanced to	wed.

And when I asked him for her hand

	A7	D
Was	this to me he	said.

Chorus

	D	G
O'	treat me daughter	kindly

	D	A
And	shade her from all	harm,

And when I die I will to you

	A7	D
My	little house and	farm,

	G
My horse my dog my	cow

	D	A
And my	bonny sheef and	farm

And all the little chickens

	A7	D
'round the	gar	den

	D	G
I	knew I loved this	darling girl

	D	A
And	she loved me the	same

And when my daily work was done

	A7	D
With	her I would re	main

	G
For to watch her milk her	father's cows,

	D	A
And	shade them from all	harm,

And many a glass of stout I had,

	A7	D
Be	fore I left the	farm.

Chorus

	D	G
And	now that we are	married

	D	A
And	settled down for	life,

I often think upon the words

	A7	D
Her	father used to	say,

	G
For to treat his daughter	kindly

	D	A
And	shade her from all	harm,

And now I am the owner of,

	A7	D
His	little house and	farm.

Chorus

	A	A7	D
And	all the little chickens 'round the	gar	den
