Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Never play by the stairs, you’re bound to fall down,

Never play by the hillside, might slip and break your crown

Never play by the fire, it’s a danger to your health

Never play by the wall, might fall and break yourself.

Ah Ah Ah,

Ah Ahhh,

Ahhhhh,

Ah Ahh

Never play by the river, you might tumble in and drown,

Never play by the field, get filthy, dirty and brown,

Never play by yourself, it’s a danger to be alone,

Never stray too far away, it’s not safe outside of home.

Ah Ah Ah,

Ah Ahhh,

Ahhhhh,

Ah Ahh…

I didn’t ask to be born,

And I don’t think I’ll ask to die.

I didn’t ask for the ground beneath my feet, I

Didn’t ask for the sky.

All that I ask, my darling,

All that I really ask of you,

All that I ask, my darling,

Is that you stay here with me.
