[D] Once I was a waiting man [C] that lived at home at ease,
[G] Now I am [C] a [G] mariner [D] that loves the [G] angry seas.
For [D] I always loved [Am] sea-faring life, [C] I bid [D] me [G] love adieu,
I shipped this [C] Jordan, cooked [G] me vines [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.
[D] For I never thought she would prove false [C] or either proven true,
[G] As we sailed away through [C] [G] Milford Bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.
Think of [D] [C] me, oh think of me, [D] she mournfully [C] did say,
[G] When you were in [C] a foreign [G] land [D] and I am far [G] away.
[D] Take this love [Am]-beater up a bit, [C] it'll make [D] you bear'd and [G] mine,
That love and trust and faithful heart you [D] left in tears [G] behind.
Cheer up, [D] cheer [C] up me aunt, for love [D] don't weep so [C] bitterly.
[G] She sobbed, she sighed, [C] she choked, [G] she cried [D] and could not say [G] goodbye.
[D] Oh I won't be gone [Am] for very long, [C] just but [G] a month or two,
When I will [C] return [G]
again, [D] of course I'll [G] visit.
[D] For I never thought she would prove [C] false or either proven true,
[G] As we sailed away [C] through [G] Milford Bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.
Our ship [C] was homeward bound [D] from many's the Farden [C] shore,
[G] And many's the Farden [C] [G] presents [D] unto me [G] love I bore.
I brought [D] tortoises [Am] from Tenerife [C] and [G] ties from Timbuktu,
A china-rat and a Bengal cat in [D] the Bombay [G] pocket,
And a [D] face [C]-hat a-dwelling on [D] the street above [C] the town,
[G] Where an ancient [C] dam upon [G] the line [D] was hangin' out [G] her gout.
[D] Where is my love?
[Am] She's vanished, sir, [C] about [D] six months [G]
ago,
With the smart young man [C] that drives [G] the [D] Bamford, Shepplin, son [G]-in-law.
[D] For I never thought she would prove false [C] or either proven true,
As [G] we sailed away [C] through [G] Milford Bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.

Here's to health to [D] dreams [C] of married life, [D] to soft [C] suds and blue,
[G] Hearts through love [C] and faith [G] and starch [D] and washing so [G] do.
[D] So we'll go on to [Am] some Farden shore, [C] and the [D] longer [G] can I stay,
And some [C] china-hat [G] and a tattoo [D] I'll throw myself [G]
away.
For my love, [D] she is [C] no foolish girl, [D] her age it is to [C]
score,
For [G] my love, she is no [C]
[G] spitz, though she's [D] been married [G] twice before.
[D] Oh, I cannot say [Am] it was her wealth that stole me heart [G]
away,
She's a washer in [C] a laundry [G] for [D] one and [G] nine a day.
[D] For I never thought she would prove false [C] or either proven true,
[G] As we sailed away through [C]
Milford [G] Bay [D] and bore [G] the kangaroo.
