Down by the deep water where the sweet [Em] lilies stand
[Am] I saw Bertie Polly, [G] a ring in [A] her hands
And [Am] the song that she sang made the [G] whole world [Bm] ring
[E]
My Billie has [Am] left me to [A] fight for a [E] king
[Am] And I wish the wars were all over
[E] [A] I stood in the banks to hear [Em] what she [Am]
said
I'll follow [B] my [A] Billie whether living [G] [F#m] or [Am] dead
The notes that she sang were the [G] [A] nightingale notes
How the Lord and the limit, [B] they [Em] wobble their [Am] throats
And I wish [G] the [Am] wars were all over
I [Em]
[Am] [A] said, my dear Polly, if you'll stay with me
I'll make you as happy as [D] happy can be
[A] Oh no, then she said, that never can be
I'll never be happy till my Billie I see
And [Am] I wish [Em] the wars were [A] all [Am] over
