But I’ll bet you by [Bbm]heaven, you’ll [F]wake up at [D7]seven
With my [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme [F]dy


[C7]Now In a [F]young lady’s [C7]bedroom I [F]went by [C7]mistake
My [F]intentions [F7]were honest you [Bb]see
She shouted with [Bbm]laughter, “I [F]know what you’re [D7]after
Its my [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme [F]dy.”


[C7]Its my [F]Auntie Maggie’s homemade [Db7]re [C7]me [F]dy,

with [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme [F]dy

And [F]if you in [F7]spect him you’ll [Bb]see,
The poor little [Bbm]chappy has [F]covered his [D7]nappy


With [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme[F]dy
[C7]Now I [F]went to a [C7]doctor, I [F]wasn’t too [C7]well
and he [F]made me lie on a [C7]settee
He said “there’s [Bbm]trouble brewing, [F]you’ve been over [D7]doing


Your [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme[F]dy.”
[C]Now I know a [F]girl who was [C7]putting on [F]weight,
In a [C7]spot where it [F]just shouldn’t [C7]be
So I said to [Bbm]Nellie, “Now you [F]rub your [D7]ankle,
with [G7]Auntie Maggie’s [C7]Reme[F]dy.”
