[Gm] As I roved [Dm] out [F]
on a bright [Cm] May
[F] morning To [C]
[F] view the [Bb] [F]
meadows [Gm] and flowers [C] gay,
Whom [Bb] should I spy but [D] my own true [C] [Gm]
lover?
[Dm] [Bb]
As she sat under [C]
yon [D] willow tree,
[Cm] I [Gm] took off my hat [F] and I did [Cm] salute
[F] her, [C] I [F] did [Bb] salute
[F] her [Gm] most
[C] courageously.
When [Bb] she turned around, [C] well, the tears fell [Gm] from her,
[F]
[Bb] Saying, false young man, you [D] have deluded [Cm] me.
[Gm] A diamond ring [F] I own I gave you, A diamond [Bb] ring to [F]
wear on [Gm] your right [C] hand,
[F] But [Bb] the vows you made, [C] love, you went and [Dm] broke [Gm]
them,
[Dm] And [Bb] married the lassie [F] that had the land.
If [Gm] I married the [F] lassie that had the land, my love,
It's that [Bb] I'll rue [F] until [Gm] the day [C] I die.
[F] When [Bb] misfortune falls, [F] no man [Am] can
[Gm] shun it,
[Dm] [Bb] I was blindfolded, [C] I'll ne'er [F] [C] deny.
[Gm] Now at nights when I go to [F] my bed of [C] [F] slumber,
The thoughts
[Bb] of my [F] true love [Gm] run in [C] my mind.
[F] When [Bb] I
[F] turn [Bb] round [F] to embrace my [Gm]
darling,
[F]
[Bb] Instead of gold shirt [F] is brass [C] I find,
[F] [C]
[Gm] And I wish the queen would [F] call home [Cm] her
[F] army.
From the West [Bb]
[F] Indies, [Gm] America [C] and Spain,
[Bb] And every man [C] to his wedded
[Gm] woman,
In [Bb] hopes that you and I will [C]
meet again.
