[Verse 1]
Am                                Em   Am
Mother, I would marry, as I would be a bride
    Am             C/E   Em       Am         E7
And I would have a young man, for ever at my side
    Am                          Dm
For if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
    Am                            E        Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my singularity.

[Verse 2]
Am                                        Em     Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a cow
    Am           C/E  Em      Am                 E7
I cannot whistle mo - ther, I guess I don't know how
    Am                          Dm
But if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
    Am                            E         Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my propriety

[Verse 3]
Am                                        Em     Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a sheep
    Am             C/E   Em       Am         E7
I cannot whistle mother, but I can sadly weep
    Am                          Dm
But if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
    Am                            E          Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my virginity

[Verse 4]
Am                                        Em    Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a man
    Am             C/E   Em       Am         E7
I cannot whistle  ( Whistles.................. )
    Am                            Dm
You impudent little daughter what makes you whistle now?
    Am                            E             Am
I'd rather whistle for a man than whistle for a cow
