[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
A bonnie wee lassie whose name it was Nell
A B7 E
Lived in a house where her Grandmother dwelled
E A E
The house it was small, and the windows no less
A B7 E
Having four panes, one needed a glass
E A
That nice little window, that cute little window
B7 E
That sweet little window where grandmother dwelled
[Verse 2]
E A E
“Oh Johnnie, oh Johnnie, I think it amiss
A B7 E
Before going away just to give me one kiss
A A E
“That I will Nellie”, he answered her true
A B7 E
To her surprise he poked his head through
E A
That hole in the window, that nice little window
B7 E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled
[Verse 3]
E A E
He gave her three kisses and great was the smack
A B7 E
To her surprise he couldn’t get his head back
E A
From that hole in the window, that nice little window
B7 E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled
[Verse 4]
E A E
He ripped and he tore, and he cursed, and he swore
A B7 E
Grandma heard the racket, jumped out on the floor
E A E
She grabbed for the poker and a lick she gave one
A B7 E
Another like that would have broke his backbone
E A
With his head in the window, that nice little window
B7 E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled
[Verse 5]
E A E
She lifted the ladle from out of the pot
A B7 E
No batter ere took the beating he got
