Old Browns Daughter Chords & Lyrics - Great Big Sea

[VERSE 1]

[C]There is an ancient [G]party at the other end of [C]town.
He [F]keeps a little grocery store, and the ancient's name is [G]Brown.
He [F]has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never [G]saw.

[VERSE 2]

[C]Old Brown sells from [G]off his shelf most anything you [C]please.
He's got [F]juice hops for the little boys, lollipops and [G]cheese.
His [F]daughter minds the store and it's a treat to see her [G]serve.
I'd [C]like to run away with her but [G]I don't have the [C]nerve.

[CHORUS]

And it's [F]Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of [C]girl.
[F]Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any [G]pearl.
I [F]wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
And blow me if I wouldn't marry [G]Old Brown's [C]girl.
[F]Blow me if I wouldn't marry [G]Old Brown's [C]girl.

[VERSE 3]

Well [C]poor Old Brown now has [G]trouble with the [C]gout.
He [F]grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get [G]out.
And [F]when I make a purchase, Lord, and she hands me the [G]change...
That [C]girl she makes me pulverized, I [G]feel so very [C]strange.

[CHORUS]

And it's [F]Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of [C]girl.
[F]Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any [G]pearl.
I [F]wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
And blow me if I wouldn't marry [G]Old Brown's [C]girl.
[F]Blow me if I wouldn't marry [G]Old Brown's [C]girl.

[VERSE 4]

Miss [C]Brown, she smiles so sweetly when I [G]say a tender [C]word.
Oh, but [F]Old Brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a [G]Lord.
And I [F]don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will [G]be...
But, by [C]jingo, next election I will [G]run for [C]Trinity!

[CHORUS]

And it's [F]Old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of [C]girl.
[F]Old Brown's daughter is as fair as any [G]pearl.
I [F]wish I was a Lord, Mayor, Marquis or an Earl.
