his dimples how merry!
D
A
His cheeks were like roses,

his nose like a cherry!
G
Bm
His droll little mouth was
Em

drawn up like a bow,
D
Em
And the beard of his chin was as
white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
Verse 11

And the smoke it encircled
his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and
