E               B            D             E 
I was raised in better days, mostly by myself 
E           B                D               E 
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help 
E                     B               D              E 
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street 
E                     B                  D               E 
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet 

G                    D               A            E 
Little old jack, you best stay back, susie keep away 
G              D                A                E 
No my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say

Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild 
E               B                   D         E 
Not inclined to be entwined with a mrs and a child 
E              B                 D               E 
No my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black 
E                    B                     D               E 
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back 

G                    D               A            E
