There was an old dark-ey

-5  -5   6   -6  -5  5   4
-9  -9   9   -10 -9  8   7
And his name was Un-cle Ned

 4  -4  5    5   5  5  -4  4 -4
 7  -8  8    8   8  8  -8  7 -8
And he died long a-go long a-go

4-4 5  5   -5  -5 -5   6  6   5   4
7-8 8  8   -9  -9 -9   9  9   8   7
He had no wool on the top of his head

4  -4    5     5    4   -4   -4   -3  4
7  -8    8     8    7   -8   -8   -7  7
In the place where the wool ought to grow


 6    6   6    6   6   6
 9    9   9    9   9   9
Then lay down the shov-el 

 6   6   6  -5   5  -4
 9   9   9  -9   8  -8
And the hoe, o ' o ' o

 5   5   5   5   5  -4   4  -4
 8   8   8   8   8  -8   7  -8
Hang up the fid-dle and the bow

 4    -4    5   5    -5
 7    -8    8   8    -9
For there's no more work

-5   6   6   6  -6
-9   9   9   9  -10
For poor Un-cle Ned

-6    6     5    4   -4   -4  -4  4
-10   9     8    7   -8   -8  -8  7
He's gone where the good dark-ies go
