Biography:
The Weavers were an American folk music quartet based in the Greenwich Village area of New York City.
The Weavers were formed in November 1948 by Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays and Fred Hellerman.
They sang traditional folk songs from around the world, as well as blues, gospel music, children's songs, labor songs, and American ballads, and sold millions of records at the height of their popularity. Their hard-driving string-band style inspired the commercial "folk boom" that followed them in the 1950s and 1960s

[Verse]
Am
When I was young and short of tongue
E
A silly wee fool was I
Am
The morning after I left the school
E Am
I heard my mother sigh
[Chorus]
Am
Get up, get out, you lazy lout
D Am
Get into your working clothes
C
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
With the grindstone to your nose
[Verse]
Am
I bought a clock, a bonny wee clock
E
To help me tell the time
Am
It waken me every morning
E
With a very poetic rhythm
[Chorus]
Am
Get up, get out, you lazy lout
D Am
Get into your working clothes
C
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
With the grindstone to your nose
[Verse]
Am
I married a lass, a bonny wee lass
E
And kept her many a-year
Am
Come what may, she began every day
E
By whispering in my ear
[Chorus]
Am
Get up, get out, you lazy lout
D Am
Get into your working clothes
C
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
With the grindstone to your nose
[Verse]
Am
Some can lie as long as they like
E
They're luckier man than me
Am
I never get to lie very long
E
I'm only 5 foot 3
Am
Get up, get out, you lazy lout
D Am
Get into your working clothes
C
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
With the grindstone to your nose
[Outro]
Am
I'll look for work tomorrow
E Am
If you just let me sleep today
Am
When I was young and short of tongue
E
A silly wee fool was I
Am
The morning after I left the school
E Am
I heard my mother sigh
[Chorus]
Am
Get up, get out, you lazy lout
D Am
Get into your working clothes
C
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
With the grindstone to your nose
[Verse]
Am
I bought a clock, a bonny wee clock

To help me tell the time
