C#m/G#                 B/F#
Little children, they run
                          C#m/G#
By the dozen all around her door
C#m/G#                     B/F#
She cooks, and she washes, ya
                            C#m/G#
And she carries on all day long

[Verse 1]
C#m/G#                       B/F#
I'll be travelin', a lonesome road
                          C#m/G#
Til I get to where I came from
C#m/G#                              B/F#
When the leaves come down I'll be travelin'
                            C#m/G#
I'll be travelin' that old road

[Verse 2]
C#m/G#                   B/F#
Sometimes, I get to worryin'
                              C#m/G#
Get to worryin' bout my heavy load
C#m/G#                       B/F#
But it aint a-gonna crush me, no
                                 C#m/G#
I'll keep a-jumpin for a long long time

[Verse 3]
C#m/G#                     B/F#
Her upper leg, is like a melon
                               C#m/G#
I like it sittin' out where I can see

[Chorus]
C#m/G#                 B/F#
Little children, they run
                          C#m/G#
By the dozen all around her door
C#m/G#                     B/F#
She cooks, and she washes, ya
                            C#m/G#
And she carries on all day long

[Verse 4]
C#m/G#                 B/F#
Soemtimes I get to dreamin'
                         C#m/G#
I'm a king in a foreign land
C#m/G#                        B/F#
And the way that things are seemin'
                          C#m/G#
She's just the one to understand

[Chorus]
C#m/G#                 B/F#
Little children, they run
                          C#m/G#
By the dozen all around her door
C#m/G#                     B/F#
She cooks, and she washes, ya
                            C#m/G#
And she carries on all day long
