[Verse 1]
Am Em Am
Mother, I would marry, as I would be a bride
Am C/E Em Am E7
And I would have a young man, for ever at my side
Am Dm
For if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
Am E Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my singularity.
[Verse 2]
Am Em Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a cow
Am C/E Em Am E7
I cannot whistle mo - ther, I guess I don't know how
Am Dm
But if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
Am E Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my propriety
[Verse 3]
Am Em Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a sheep
Am C/E Em Am E7
I cannot whistle mother, but I can sadly weep
Am Dm
But if I had a young man, O how happy I would be
Am E Am
For I am tired and oh so weary of my virginity
[Verse 4]
Am Em Am
Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a man
Am C/E Em Am E7
I cannot whistle ( Whistles.................. )
Am Dm
You impudent little daughter what makes you whistle now?
Am E Am
I'd rather whistle for a man than whistle for a cow
