Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Take good core of what you've got

My father said to me

As he puffed his pipe and Baby B.

He dandled on his knee

Don't fool with fools who'll turn away

Keep all Good Company

Oo Hoo Oo Hoo

Take care of those you call your own

And keep Good Company

Soon I grew and happy too

My very good friends and me

We'd play all day and Sally J.

The girl from number four

And very soon I begged her won't you

Keep me Company

 Now marriage is an insinuation sure

My wife and I our needs and nothing more

All my friends by a year by and by disappear

 But we're safe enough behind our door.

I flourished in my humble trade

My reputation grew

The work devoured my waking hours

But when my time was through

Reward of all my efforts my own

Limited Company

I hardly noticed Sall as we

All through the years in the end it appears

 There was never really anyone but me

Now I'm old I puff my pipe

But no-one's there to see

I ponder on the lesson of

My life's insanity

Take care of those you call your own

And Keep Good Company
