Verse 1

The good man he came home one night

 The good man, home came he

There he spied an old saddle horse

 Where no horse should there be

 "It's a cow, it's a cow", cried the good man's wife

 "A cow, just a cow, can't you see?"

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But a saddle on a cow there's never been

(Break)

Verse 2

The good man he came home one night

 The good man, home came he

There he spied a powdered wig

 Where no wig should there be

 It's a hen, it's a hen, cried the good man's wife

A hen, just a hen, can't you see?

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But powder on a hen there's never been

(Break)

Verse 3

Played quitely)

The good man he came home one night

 The good man, home came he

There he spied a riding coat

 Where no coat should there be

 It's sheets, just sheets, cried the good man's wife

Sheets, just sheets, can't you see?

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But buttons on a sheet there's never been

(Break)

Verse 4

The good man climbed the stairs that night

 When the good man home came he

There he spied a handsome man

 Where no man should there be

 It's the maid, it's the maid, cried the good man's wife

The milking maid, can't you see?

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But a beard on a maid there's never been

(Break)

Verse 5

Technically not the chords - but still sounds okay)

The good man he came home one night

 The good man, home came he

There he spied an old saddle horse

 Where no horse should there be

 It's a cow, it's a cow, cried the good man's wife

A cow, just a cow, can't you see?

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But a saddle on a cow there's never been

Far have I ridden, and much I've seen

 But a saddle on a cow there's never been
