A one, a two, a phree, a pho--ah...


  [D]                    [G]


A mother was washing her baby one night;


    [A]                   [D]        A


The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.


    [D]                     [G]


The mother was poor and the baby was thin;


      [A]                   [D]            A


'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin.


    [D]                        [G] 


The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.


        [A]              [D]               A


She was only a moment but when she turned back


    [D]                   [G]


Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,


     [A]                           [D]        A

"Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied:


[D]                             [G]     


Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole.


 [A]                       [D]


Your baby has gone down the plug.


G                 G7           D          B7      


The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,


[E7]                             A          A7


He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug.


[D]                       [G]


 Your baby is perfectly happy;      


[A]                    [D]


He won't need a bath anymore.


[G]                             [D]    E7


He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,


     [A]       A7     [D]


Not lost but gone before.
