Garbageman's Daughter

Words & Music:

Traditional

 

Make up more verses!!!  Any profession is fair game – just don't forget the sound effect to go with the job.  Modern professions could add an interesting twist to this song.

 

       G                          Am

I'm in love with the garbageman's daughter  [Slop!  Slop!]

    D7                G

Who lives down by the swill.

        G                      Am

Were it not for her garbageman father  [Slop!  Slop!]

       D7                G

I'd be loving her there, still!

 

I'm in love with the preacherman's daughter  [Amen!]

Who lives down by the church.

Were it not for her preacherman father  [Amen!]

I'd be loving her there, still!

 

I'm in love with the lumberjack's daughter  [Chop!  Chop!]

Who lives down by the mill.

Were it not for her lumberjack father  [Chop!  Chop!]

I'd be loving her there, still!
