As I [F#m] rode out [E] one [A]
evening [G] [F#m] [Bm] by [A] the assembly [B] mile, [E]
[A] I heard [F#m] two
[C#m] lovers [E] [A] speaking
[G] [A] as me and
[D] my
[E] love passed [A] on.
But the [E] words that passed [F#m] between [C#m] them, [E] [A] they were but [Bm] very few.
[A] [E] [Bm]
It's
[A] not the leaving [F#m] of [C#m]
limerick [E] that [A] grieves me, [D] [A] but my [D] darling [A] leaving you.
In the morning when [E] I am
born, [A]
[D] [A] I'll take you by the lily white [Bm] hand [C#] [E]
and [A] I'll [C#m] wave [F#m] it o [E]'er my [G] [C#m] shoulder
[Bm] [A] and send you to the [D]
limerick [A] strand.
So [E] farewell to the boys [F#m] of [E] the gate, it's [A] to them I'll bid you.
