As I roved out one morning, [C] going to Camargoon Fair, I spied a pretty [G] maiden with the [C] sunlight in [D] her hair.
[G] Her way was so delightful, her voice rang like [C] a bell, and as I [G] overtook her, [D] I asked if she [G] was well.
[D] Lay down your breath and shawl, my love, [G] I swear it is [C] no joke, and I'll tell to you [G] the story [D] of the old [G] Camargoon.

Lay [D] down your breath and shawl, my love, [G] I swear it is no joke, [C] and I'll tell to you [G] the story [D] of the old [G] Camargoon.

[G] And the laughter was contagious, [C] for the truth to you I'll tell.
