E Dbm
Time is a ticking my love
A E
Can no longer stay
Dbm
Sounds of the alarms
A B
And I must go away
Dbm E
Ordered out over seas
A Dbm
For many a weary day
A E A E
To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal
E Dbm
Oh, Willie, Sweet Willie
A E
Don't leave me here alone
Dbm
For I wish to God above,
A B
That I was never born
Dbm E
Parting from you my love
A Dbm
I'd rather be buried alive
A E A E
So stay home with me Sweet Willie and I'll be your loving wife
E Dbm
Oh Annie, Sweet Annie
A E
Surely can not stay
Dbm
The government has ordered me
A B
And I must go away
Dbm
The government has ordered me
A Dbm
Set up their command
A E A E
And I'm bound away my love for the Leopold Canal
E Dbm
Cruel was the war
A E
When it first began
Dbm
Out of Canada
A B
We lost, many a man
Dbm E
Out of Canada
A Dbm
Men were battered and torn.
A E A E
Thousands lay dead on Leopold's shore.
E Dbm
Sitting in the trenches
A E
Couldn't help but curse
Dbm
This cruel bloody war
A B
Had taken me from her
Dbm E
Taken me from my sweet heart
A Dbm
And the place where I loved to dwell
A E A E
And shipped me off to the bloody banks, of the Leopold Canal
E Dbm
Time is a ticking my love
A E
Can no longer stay
Dbm
Sounds of the alarms
A B
And I must go away
Dbm E
Ordered out over seas
A Dbm
For many a weary day
A E A E
To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal
To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal
To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal
