When I was a bachelor I [A] lived all alone [B] I worked at the [E] weaver's trade
And the only, only thing [A] that I did that was wrong
[B] Was to woo a [E] fair young maid
[B] I wooed her in [E] the wintertime [B]
Part of the [E] summer too
And the only, only thing that I did that [F#] was wrong
Was [B] to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
One night she knelt [A] close by my side [B] When I was fast [E] asleep
She threw her [A] arms around my neck And [B] then [E] began to weep
[F#] [B] She wept, she [E] cried, she tore her hair [B] Ah me, what [E] could I do?
So all night long [A] I held her in my [F#] arms [B] Just to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
Again I am a [A] bachelor I live with my [B] son
We work at the [E] weaver's trade
And every single [A] time that I look into his eyes
[B] He reminds me of the [E] fair young maid
[A#] He [B] reminds me of [E] the wintertime
[B]
Part of the [E] summer too
And of the many, many times that [A] I held her in [F#] my arms
[Bm] Just to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
And the only, only thing [A] that I did that was wrong
[B] Was to woo a [E] fair young maid
[B] I wooed her in [E] the wintertime [B]
Part of the [E] summer too
And the only, only thing that I did that [F#] was wrong
Was [B] to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
One night she knelt [A] close by my side [B] When I was fast [E] asleep
She threw her [A] arms around my neck And [B] then [E] began to weep
[F#] [B] She wept, she [E] cried, she tore her hair [B] Ah me, what [E] could I do?
So all night long [A] I held her in my [F#] arms [B] Just to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
Again I am a [A] bachelor I live with my [B] son
We work at the [E] weaver's trade
And every single [A] time that I look into his eyes
[B] He reminds me of the [E] fair young maid
[A#] He [B] reminds me of [E] the wintertime
[B]
Part of the [E] summer too
And of the many, many times that [A] I held her in [F#] my arms
[Bm] Just to keep her from the foggy, [E] foggy dew
