Tom is young and Tom is bold, Tom is as bold 

as a knight of old.

but whenever he gets into a bit of a jam, there's nothing 
                     Bm 
he won't do to get a Harry Rag.

and rolls himself a Harry Rag and puts himself to bed.

Ah, Tom's old Ma is a dyin' lass, soon they reckon she'll 

be pushin' up the grass. 
        Bm                       A 
And her bones might take and her skin might sag, 
F#                                     Bm 
still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag.

Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all, you may take some 

but you'll never take it all. 
       Bm               A 
But if I give it all, I won't feel sad, 
   F#                         Bm 
as long as I've got enough to buy a Harry Rag.

         Bm                    A 
And they light one up and they boast and brag, 
F#                      Bm 
so content because they got a Harry Rag.
