Intro: Em-Bm-Bm-Em

(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day -Bm-Em

In (Em)Wellington town at the (Bm)sign of the (Em)plough
There (Em)lived a molecatcher shall (Bm)I tell you (Em)now
He (Em)had a young wife she was (Bm)buxom and (Em)gay
And (Em)she and a(Bm)nother young farmer would (Em)play

(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day -Bm-Em

Well the (Em)farmer he knocked on her (Bm)door and did (Em)say
Where (Em)is the molecatcher good (Bm)woman I (Em)pray
He's (Em)out catching moles love you (Bm)need have no (Em)fear
But (Em)she didn't (Bm)know the molecatcher was (Em)near

(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day -Bm-Em

He (Em)crept up the stairs in the (Bm)midst of their (Em)frolic
The (Em)molecatcher caught him (Bm)tight by the (Em)jacket
Said I've (Em)been a molecatcher for (Bm)most of me (Em)life
But (Em)here's the best (Bm)mole I ever caught in me (Em)life

(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day -Bm-Em

Well I'll (Em)make you pay dearly for (Bm)tilling me (Em)ground
I’ll (Em)from your pocket a (Bm)full twenty (Em)pounds
Twenty (Em)pounds said the farmer I (Bm)really don't (Em)mind
For it (Em)only works (Bm)out about two-pence a (Em)time

(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day
(A)Lo til I day, (Em)lo til I (Bm)liddle I (Em)lotil I day
