Em Am Em H7
and I would have a young man forever at my side
Em Em Am Am
for if I had a young man,o how happy I would be
Em Em Em H7 Em
for I am tired and o so weary of my virginity
2.´Whistle,daughter,whistle,and you shall have a cow´
`I cannot whistle,mother,I guess I don´t know how
for if I had a young man,o how happy I would be
for I am tired and o so weary of my propriety´
3.´Whistle,daughter,whistle,and you shall have a sheep´
´I cannot whistle,mother,I can only weep
for if I had a young man,o how happy I would be
for I am tired and so weary of my singularity´
4.´Whistle,daughter,whistle,and you shall have a man´
`I can whistle...´(whistles the rest of the line)
´You silly little daughter,and what makes you whistle now?´
´I´d rather whistle for a man than for a sheep or cow´
