As I was walkin' down the ^Croad, 'twas on one s^Gummer's d^Day ^GWhat d'you suppose I ^Cchanced to see, ^Ggoin' the other way? Well I knew it weren't the N^Cavy nor the ^Gwhole McDougal ^Dclan 'Twas a ^Gcompany of ^Ccowards, I could ^Gtell by the way they ran

Oh get around oh ^Cget around get around ^GOh get around get aw^Day 'Tis a ^Gcompany of ^Ccowards And they've ^Gcome to save the day

You should've seen their ^Cuniforms, ^Gshabby as you ^Dplease ^GMighty shy of ^Cbuttons, rather ^Gbaggy ^Dat the ^Gknees And such was their ap^Cpearance, we ^Glaughed until we ^Dcried It's a ^Gpity, Mr. ^CLincoln, they're ^Gnot on the other side
