An earthly [C]
nurse sits and see, And I, [D] she sings, barely hear,
Saying, little can I [C] thy Ben's [D] father, [C] For less the land that he
[D] sleeps in,
Then he [C] arose at her bed-foot, [Am] Grumbly guessed, I'm sure, was he,
[D] Saying, here am I [C] thy Ben's [D] father, [C] Although [A] I be not [D] comely.
I am a man
[C] upon the [D] land, And I am [A] a self [C] beyond
[D] the sea,
But
[G] when I [D] am far [C] and far [D] from the land, [C] I hope [G] it is [C] not too
[D] scary.
And he has taken [C] a purse [D] of gold, And he has laid [C] it on [D] her knee,
Saying,
[G] give [D] to me [C] my little young [D]
son, [C] And take [G] me on [C] thy
[D] nurse's feet,
For it shall come to pass [C] on a [D] summer's day, When the sun shines bright [C] on every [D] storm,
[G] I'll come [D] to fetch [C] my little [D] young son, [C] And teach [G] him how [C] to swim [D] the foam,
And you shall marry [C] a proud [D] donna, And a proud donna [C] I'm sure
[D] he'll be,
But [G] the very [D] first chomp [C] that air [D] he shoots, [C] He'll kill [G] both [C] my young son [D] and me.
I am a [A] man upon the land, And I am [A] a self [C] beyond
[D] the sea,
But
[G] when [D] I am far [C] and far [D] from the land, [C] I hope [G] it is [C] not too
[D] scary.
