Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: TWICE DAILY

Can anybody that knows this song on guitar tell me if these chords are right ?
I remember the song from years back , it came into me head today and I started playing it , are the chords just 'D to 'A all the way through ?
As I may have said before I have a bit of a hearing problem and sometimes drift out of key , is there a 'G chord I'm not hearing ?


TWICE DAILY

When[D] I was a lad I was so glad to go out in the[A] daytime
With me fork, a bottle and a cork to help out in the[D] haytime
Tossin' hay one fine day I met young Lucy[A] Bailey
And I said my dear "Are you often here", she said "Yes sir,[D] twice daily"

Well we had such fun in the summer sun, Lucy was so thrillin'
So sweet and pure but I wasn't sure if that girl was willin'
Until one day among the hay we were working gaily
When she up's and slips and her garters ripped and I went there twice daily

Did[D] the rum do dee, did de rum do da, did the rum da do do[A] randy
Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da, did the rye do dee,[D] twice daily

Well Lucy's dad he was very mad, he chased me 'round the haybarn
He said "You son, now you've had your fun, the time has come to pay now"
"The girl you'll wed", the old man said as he waved his shotgun gaily
"If you don't", he says, "where I'll put the lead you won't sit there twice daily"

So the very next day in the month of May we held the ceremony
And we paid off the vicar with a gallon of liquor, and we rode to church on a pony
To Lucy's joy we had a boy, what a little darlin'
He's round and fat as a Cheshire cat, as perky as a starlin'

Did the rum do dee, did de rum do da, did the rum da do do randy
Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da, did the rye do dee, twice daily

Well now we're old, our story's told, forty years together
Tho' we often stray where we tossed the hay in that old time summer weather
Well, kids we've got ten or more, we goes on quiet gaily
Tho' I'm old and grey when I've got me way I still go there twice daily

Did the rum do dee, did de rum do da, did the rum da do do randy
Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da, did the rye do dee, twice daily

Your words have been bowdlerised too.

A mate of mine (Growler) who plays this says they are OK but he prefers G and D.

Thank you Richard , This version is the one the Wolfe Tones recorded in the 70s and is the only version I know , I think it's origins are English

I think you'll find it originates in the UK West Country and probably started with the Worzels or Fred Wedlock - not sure, but a feeling. Or maybe the Yetties.

The "Rips" I ahve as "summat ripped", an obvious reference to deflowering.

And the lead was planned to go somewhere a lot nastier....
