SPRINGFIELD MOUNTAIN



(G) G - D7 G / G - D7 G / G - - C /



On Springfield Mountain there did dwell

A lovely youth, I knew him well - I ell -



Tu rudy nu, tu rudy nay,

Tu rudy nu, tu rudy nay



Each morning early, he did go

Up to the mountain for to mow - I owe



CHORUS



He scarce had mowed half round the field

When a poison serpent bit his heel - I eel



CHORUS

They carried him to Molly dear

Which made him feel so very queer - I eer



CHORUS



Now Molly had two ruby lips



With which the poison she did sip - I ip



CHORUS



But Molly had a rotten tooth

And so the poison killed them both - I oth



CHORUS



The moral: when in love don't pass

Too near to patches of high grass - I ass



CHORUS
