Ernie my little pet slug

We used to go for walks in the garden

And 'ave a nice picnic on a rug
[Verse 1]

Out in the wind and cold

So I took Ernie in at winter

And I said "together you and I'll grow old"

As Ernie grew up I grew to love him

'e truly was the apple o' me eye
C Dm
An' I told 'im "O' sweet Ernie 'ow I love you,
G C
but if you ever eat me flowers then you'll die..."
