[Bm] One day as I [A] was walking, [C#] and a [A]-walking [Bm] all alone, I heard a young [A] couple [Em] a [A]-making [Bm] their
way to the farm.
And the young couple, who was a-making their way to the farm, said, [D] the older one [A] to the
fonder one, [D] Bonnie lass, I [G] must [F#] away,
[Em] [D] for the king he [Bm] has commanded us, [G] and his orders
I [Bm] must obey.
