Well Belly was a young man with beautiful eyes,
   E          B          E             B
he tried to seduce every girl with his lies.
   A     B             E         A
Oh Belly remember that beautiful day,
         E                A            B          E    B
with the young landlord's daughter and you in the hay.
 
    E              B         E                B
And several months later the clock struck ten times,
    E             B           E            B
she confessed her secret with tears in her eyes.
     A           B          E            A
From this day on Belly, you were seen no more,
          E               A           B           E      B
well, you packed all your bags and escaped to the shore.
 
[Refrain]
   E         G#m    A             B
Oh Belly, oh Belly, what have you done?
E         G#m             A         B
Belly, oh Belly, in the warm summer sun.
E         G#m               A            B
Belly, oh Belly, you have a two year old son.
E             A         B           E
Belly, please come home until he is grown.

[Verse 2]
    E                B        E          B
But Belly joined the army and sailed far away,
    E           B               E             B
the cost of New England and the New Hampshire Bay.
      A               B             E        A
Where brothers fought brothers in a terrible way
    E         A            B           E    B
and after the killing they shouted "Horray!"
 
    E        B                E          B
And you were amongst them, my poor Belly boy.
    E          B                E         B
You fought for survival and you fought to destroy.
    A        B        E           A
Did you remember that girl in the hay?
   E         A          B          E   B
Oh Belly, me Belly, why did you astray?
 
[Refrain]
   E         G#m    A             B
Oh Belly, oh Belly, what have you done?
E         G#m             A         B
Belly, oh Belly, in the warm summer sun.
E         G#m               A            B
Belly, oh Belly, you have a two year old son.
E             A         B           E
Belly, please come home until he is grown.

    E            A             B           E
And one day your ship anchored near by the quay,
        C#m               A            B                E
and the young wives had tears in their eyes, while they wait.
     E             A          B            C#m
Only your wife was waiting in vain and she cried,
       A       E             B         E     B
as the officer told her that Belly has died.

Oh Belly, oh Belly, what have you done?

Belly, oh Belly, in the warm summer sun.
E         G#m               A            B
Belly, oh Belly, you have a two year old son.
E             A         B           E
Belly, please come home until he is grown.

Oh Belly, oh Belly, what have you done?

Belly, oh Belly, in the warm summer sun.
E         G#m               A            B
Belly, oh Belly, you have a two year old son.
