  G       Am F                 G
Cry baby cry make your mother sigh

she's old enough to know better

    Em      Em+7                 Em7
The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
        Em6                 C7 G
cooking breakfast for the queen
    Em               Em+7             Em7
The queen was in the parlour playing piano
          Em6            C7
For the children of the king

Chorus:
  G       Am F                 G
Cry baby cry make your mother sigh
      Em7                 A7         F        G
she's old enough to know better so cry baby cry

The king was in the garden picking flowers
For a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom painting pictures
For the childrens holiday ...

Chorus

The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems with a message
At the local bird and bee ...

Chorus

At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
By the children for a lark...

Chorus

 Fm
Can you take me back where are people,
can you take me back
Can you take me back where are people,
brother can you take me back
Can you take me back?
Oh can you take me where are people,
can you take me back?
