Bundle Of Sorrow Bundle Of Joy

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Bundle Of Sorrow Bundle Of Joy CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro]       Ddim7/    Ddim7/ [Verse 1] In middle fall when northern winds blow the clouds every which way    And the temperature is variable in the course of a shortened day The ghost of summer lingers on in the dying rays of the sun And winter waits to heap its snow upon us by the ton I jam a log into the stove and hasten to shut the door In the room upstairs sleeps a baby boy who wasn’t there before__ before [Chorus] I love my kid my baby my boy Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy           Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy [Verse 2] Who knows what this year will bring for us just what’s in store While the whistlepigs are bedded down beneath the woodshed floor How many pounds the child will gain the inches that he grows Will depend upon the measure of the love that we show Chainsaws whine out in woods the geese have taken flight And the daytime sounds of birds give way to coyotes in the night the night [Chorus] I love my kid my baby my boy Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy           Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy [Verse 3] Once there were just two of us now there’s another mouth to feed   And when he’s taken from the breast can we meet his every need? We filled our home with the toys and clothes to suit his every whim And he’s filled our hearts with wondrous love that flows right back to him The young grass grows up through the old the lilac lives again Upon a painted latticework a little rose ascends ascends [Chorus]    (fade to end) I love my kid my baby my boy Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy I love my kid my baby my boy Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy I love my kid       (my baby my boy) Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy             (my baby my boy) Bundle of sorrow bundle of joy
