[Verse 1]
  F#                                   B
​I live on the farm three miles from Kilkelly
F#                             C#7
Talking to myself living on my own
  F#                                   B
I took out a singles ad in the farmers journal
      F#           C#7         F#
And another one on midwest radio.

[Chorus]
      F#                                        B
I'm a mild mannered middle aged mighty man from Mayo
F#                                 C#7
Living a quiet life out in the country
    F#                                 B
I'm six foot two never drank a drop of porter
        F#                    C#7         F#
But I'm looking for love some female company.

[Verse 2]
F#                            B
First to call was Mary from Bohola
F#                              C#7
Pretty as a picture a lady so refined
       F#                              B
Well I took her for a spin on my Honda 50
      F#                   C#7            F#
And I sure as hell haven't seen her for a while.

[Verse 3]
         F#                              B
Well the next to call was Eileen from Doohoma
F#                                 C#7
Looking like a model very tall and thin
  F#                                    B
I asked her would she help me clean the hen house
  F#                C#7      F#
I never, ever, ever saw her again.

[Chorus]
      F#                                        B
I'm a mild mannered middle aged mighty man from Mayo
F#                                 C#7
Living a quiet life out in the country
    F#                                 B
I'm six foot three and drink a drop of porter
    F#                    C#7         F#
I'm looking for love some female company.

[Verse 4]
G                                 C
One fine day with Kathy down from Partry
G                            D
Billy the goat really took a shine
        G                               C
Well he chased her all the way to Knock Airport
  G                  D                 G
I never really got a chance to say goodbye

[Verse 5]
    G                                    C
The last girl I met was Margaret from Moygownagh
    G                               D
And things are going really, really slow
  G                                C
I still have the ad in the Farmers Journal
        G                     D           G
And the other with Claffey on Midwest Radio.

[Chorus]
      G                                         C
I'm a mild mannered middle aged mighty man from Mayo
G                                  D
Living a quiet life out in the country
    G                                  C
I'm six foot four and I drink a lot of porter
    G                     D           G
I'm looking for love some female company.

[Chorus]
      G                                         C
I'm a mild mannered middle aged mighty man from Mayo
G                                  D
Living a quiet life out in the country
    G                                   C
I'm six foot five and I drink a rake of porter
    G                     D           G
I'm looking for love some female company.
    G                     D           G
I'm looking for love some female company.
