VERSE 1.
G Dm F C F C
As I roved out on a bright May morning,
C F Am Dm G
To view the meadows and flowers gay,
F Am Dm Am
Whom should I spy but mine own true lover,
F G
As she sat under yon willow tree.
VERSE 2.
Dm F C F C
I took off my hat and I did salute her,
F Am Dm G
I did salute her most courageously,
F Am Dm Am
When she turned around, well,the tears fell from her,
F G
Saying false young man, you have deluded me.
VERSE 3.
Dm F C F C
A diamond ring I owned, I gave you,
F Am Dm G
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand,
F Am Dm Am
But the vows you made love, you went and broke them ,
Dm G
And married the lassie that had the land.
VERSE 4.
Dm F C F C
If I married the lassie that had the land, my love,
F Am Dm G
It's that I'll rue until the day I die,
F Am Dm Am
When misfortune falls, sure, no man can shun it,
F G
I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny.
VERSE 5.
Dm F C F C
Now at night, when I,lie in my bed of slumber,
C F Am Dm G
The thoughts of my true love run in my mind,
F Am Dm Am
When I turn around to embrace my darlin'
F G
Instead of gold, sure 'tis brass I find.
VERSE 6
Dm F C F C
And I wish the Queen would call home her armies,
C F Am Dm G
From the West Indies, Americay and Spain,
F Am Dm Am
And every man to his wedded woman,
F G
In hopes that you and I will meet again.
