"Away Ye Merry Laddies"
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
after "Away Ye Merry Lassies" by Georje Holper

/ G - C G / - - (C) D / 1st / C D G - /

I told my dad I was going out
He asked what I was on about
I asked to take the bearskin rug
I'm going to meet the guys

You know the moon is full and bright
Why don't you like the ladies?
Oh, I prefer the guys tonight
I'm going to run the woods!

	/ G D C - / - - D - / 1st / C D G - /

	Oh, we'll be out 'til dawn
	Away ye merry laddies
	Get your skins, put 'em on
	We'll run the woods tonight!

I called a guy I know from work
By day a humble filing clerk
Who really loves to go berserk
He's coming to meet the guys

You know the moon is full and bright...

	Oh, we'll be out 'til dawn...

As I was going out the gate
My dad came up behind me
He turned into a timber wolf
And we went to meet the guys

As we were howlin' at the moon
A shadow flew across it
Oh, that's just the girls a-havin' their fun
But we're gonna run the woods!

	Oh we'll be out 'til dawn...
