[VERSE 1]
We [C]had to move 'cos the [G]rent we couldn't pay
The [D]moving van came round just after[G] dark
There was [C]me and my old man shoving [G]things inside the van
Which we'd [D]often done before let me rem[G]ark
We [C]packed all that could be packed n the [G]van and that's a fact
And we [D]got inside all we could get in[G]side
Then we [D]packed all we could pack on the [G]tail-board at the back
Till there [Am]wasn't any [D]room for me to [G]ride
[CHORUS]
[C]My old man said [D]follow the van
And [G]don't dilly dally on the [C]way
[G]Off went the cart with me [Am]'ome packed in it
[D]I walked behind with me [G]old cock linnet
But I [C]dillied and [G]dallied [C]dallied and [G]dillied
[C]Lost the van and [D]don't know where to [G]roam
I [C]stopped on the [A]way to have the [Dm]old half-[G]quartern
Now I [C]can't find [G]my way [C]'ome
[VERSE 2]
I [C]gave a helping hand with the [G]marble wash-handstand
And [D]straight we wasn't getting on so [G]bad
All at [C]once the carman bloke had an [G]accident and broke
Well the [D]nicest bit of china that we [G]had
You'll [C]understand of course I was [G]cross about the loss
Same as [D]any other human woman [G]would
But I [D]soon got over that what with [G]two-out and a chat
'Cos it's [Am]little things like [D]that what does you [G]good
[CHORUS]
[C]My old man said [D]follow the van
And [G]don't dilly dally on the [C]way
[G]Off went the cart with me [Am]'ome packed in it
[D]I walked behind with me [G]old cock linnet
But I [C]dillied and [G]dallied [C]dallied and [G]dillied
[C]Lost the van and [D]don't know where to [G]roam
Now [C]who's going to [A]put up the [Dm]old iron [G]bedstead
If I [C]can't find [G]my way [C]'ome
[VERSE 3]
Oh [C]I'm in such a mess I don't [G]know the new address
Don't [D]even know the blessed neighbour[G]hood
And I [C]feel as if I might have to [G]stay out all the night
And [D]that ain't going to do me any [G]good
I [C]don't make no complaint but I'm [G]coming over faint
What I [D]want now is a good substantial [G]feed
And I [C]sorta kinda feel if I [G]don't soon have a meal
I shall [Am]have to rob the [D]linnet of his [G]seed
[CHORUS]
[C]My old man said [D]follow the van

But I [C]dillied and [G]dallied [C]dallied and [G]dillied
[C]Lost the van and [D]don't know where to [G]roam
You can't [C]trust the [A]specials like the [Dm]old-time [G]coppers
When you [C]can't find [G]your way [C]'ome[G] [C]
