Come gather all around me and I'll sing to you a tale,
D A
About the boys in Carmanville who almost went to jail;
D A
It happened on a November's night when all hands were asleep,
E A
We crept up over Joe Tulk's hill and stole Aunt Martha's sheep.
A E A
Now, if you pay attention, I know I'll make you laugh,
D A
They never went to steal the sheep, they went to steal the calf;
D A
The old cow she got angry 'cause they woke her from her sleep,
E A
We couldn't take any chances so we had to steal the sheep.
A E A
We caught the wooly animal and dragged her from her pen,
D A
She said good-bye to the little lamb she'd never see again;
D A
She knew that those dark strangers soon would take her life,
E A
In less than half an hour, she felt that dreadful knife.
A E A
Aunt Martha she got angry when she heard about the loss,
D A
She said she'd catch the robbers no matter what the cost;
D A
Next morning just at sunrise she to the office went,
E A
And to the RCMP a telegram she sent.
A E A
The Mountie got the message and started in to read,
D A
This is from Aunt Martha telling an awful deed:
D A
Last night my sheep was stolen by whom I cannot tell,
E A
I'd like for you to catch them and take them off to jail.
A E A
Just a short time later about twelve o'clock that night,
D A
We had the sheep a-cooking and everyone feeling tight;
D A
The smell of mutton and onions no man could ask for more,
E A
We were chug-luggin' Dominion when a Mountie walked in the door.
A E A
Said, sorry, boys, your party I really don't mean to wreck,
D A
I smelled the meat a-cookin' and I had to come in and check;
D A
You see the sheep was stolen and the thief is on the loose,
I said come right in and join us, sir, we're having a piece of moose.
A
He said, thanks a lot and he sat right down,
E A
And I gave him a piece of the sheep.
D A
This is the finest piece of moose I knows I ever eat.
D A
About two o'clock in the morning, he bid us all good-day,
E A
If we get any clues on the sheep, sir, we'll phone you right away.
A
He said thanks a lot, you're a darn fine bunch,
E A
And your promise I know you'll keep.
And if everyone was as good as you
D A
She wouldn't have lost her sheep.
D A
After he left we had the piece we had in the oven to roast,
E A
We might have stole the sheep, boys, but the Mountie ate the most.
