The Lark In The Morning – Traditional
Dm F C Am
The Lark in the morning she rises off her nest
Dm C Dm
She goes up in the air with the dew all on her breast
C Am
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings
Dm F C Dm
She goes home in the evening with the dew all on her wings
Dm F C Am
Oh Roger the plough-boy he is a dashing blade,
Dm C Dm
He goes whistling and singing through yonder leafy shade
C Am
He met with dark-eyed Susan, she's handsome I declare,
Dm F C Dm
And she's far more enticing than the birds all in the air
Dm F C Am
The Lark in the morning she rises off her nest
Dm C Dm
She goes up in the air with the dew all on her breast
C Am
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings.
Dm F C Dm
She goes home in the evening with the dew all on her wings
Dm F C Am
As they were coming home from the rakes of the town,
Dm C Dm
The meadow being all mown and the grass had been cut down.
C Am
As they should chance to tumble all on the new-mown hay
Dm F C Dm
Oh it's kiss me now or never this bonnie lass would say.
Dm F C Am
The Lark in the morning she rises off her nest
Dm C Dm
She goes up in the air with the dew all on her breast
C Am
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings.
Dm F C Dm
She goes home in the evening with the dew all on her wings
Dm F C Am
When twenty long weeks were over and past
Dm C Dm
Her mammy asked the reason why she thickened round the waist.
C Am
It was the pretty ploughboy this young girl then did say
Dm F C Dm
For he asked me for to tumble, all on the new-mown hay.
Dm F C Am
The Lark in the morning she rises off her nest
Dm C Dm
She goes up in the air with the dew all on her breast
C Am
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings.
Dm F C Dm
She goes home in the evening with the dew all on her wings
Dm F C Am
Here's a health to you ploughboys wherever you may be,
Dm C Dm
That likes having a bonnie lass sitting on each knee.
C Am
With a pint of good strong porter, he'll whistle and he'll sing
Dm F C Dm
And the ploughboy is as happy as a prince or a king
Dm F C Am
The Lark in the morning she rises off her nest
Dm C Dm
She goes up in the air with the dew all on her breast
C Am
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings.
Dm F C Dm
She goes home in the evening with the dew all on her wings
