[Verse 1]
D                     Bm
I'm a poor boy as you know
      D                           G
But I love the Captain's daughter so
D                         Bm
If I begged her would she go?
   E                 G   D   G   A   D
Or would she tell me no, no, no, no, no?

D                 Bm
Daddy is a sailor man
D                        G
Your fresh from the farm land
D                       Bm
He said when you ask my hand
    A              G   D   G   A   D
For me to tell you no, no, no, no, no

Your daddy's gone away to sea
D                       G
You're as lovely as can be
D                     Bm
Come and go away with me
    E                 G   D   G   A   D
Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no


[Chorus]
   Bm
My daddy owns a clipper ship
   A
He brings me pearls on every trip
G
Pink champagne for me to sip
    E                        G     D     G     A     D
And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know

[Verse 3]
D                          Bm
I've got no pearls to give you
     D                             G
I've got two arms and heart that's true
D                              Bm
We could start with a dream or two
   E7                   G   D   G  A  D
Oh won't you say you'll go, go?

D                               Bm
The poor boy came from the farm land
D                                G
She was the daughter of a sailor man
    D                               Bm
The Captain says 'When he begs your hand
    E               G   D   G   A   D
You better tell him no, no, no, no, no'


[Chorus]
          Bm
She said 'Papa don't you worry please
    A
The poor begs me upon his knees
G
I'd never leave this life of ease'
    E7
And with the poor boy goes


[Verse 4]
    D                                 Bm
The captain kissed her and he went to sea
    D                           G
The poor boy said 'Go away with me
       D                        Bm
You're lonely and you shouldn't be
    E                 G   D   G   A   D
Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no'


[Chorus]

My daddy owns a clipper ship
   A
He brings me pearls on every trip
G
Pink champagne for me to sip
    E7                       G     D     G     A     D
And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know


[Verse 5]
     D                   Bm
Your daddy's given you a home
           D                     G
But you've got nobody when he is gone
G
I'll go and leave you all alone
       E               G   D   G   A   D
If the answer is still no, no, no, no, no
