[Cm] As I rolled down into Maymore, Maymore and in my derby, [Bb] I met my love upon the way,
[Eb] Oh [Bb] Lord, but [Cm] she was early.
Her boots were black and her stockings bright, her buckles shone like [Bb] silver,
She had a dark and a roving [Eb] eye, [Gm] and her earrings [Cm] touched her shoulders.
_ What age are you my boy?
Yes, what age are you my honey?
_ [Bb] Modestly she answered [Eb] me, I'll be [Gm] seventeen [Cm] on Sunday.
She sighed, I left the batch with the batch at the back [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Gm] _

[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ door,
Where do you live my old honey?
She asked, Where do you live my honey?
[Bb] Well she bought a wing house up at the top of [Eb] the hill.
I lived [Bb] there with [Cm] my mummy.
So I waited at the house at the top of the hill, the moon was shining clearly.
[Bb] She arose to let me in, [Ab] but her [Gm] mother [Cm] chanced to hear me.
_ She caught her by an ant's head, and down the road she brought [Bb] her.
With the root of a hazel [Eb] twig, she [Bb] was the [Cm] wealthy daughter.
[Bb] She [Cm] sang, a-little-ang, little-ang, little-ang,
Si-ja-i-da-la-la, si-ja-i-da-la-la, de-ja-la-nde.

[Cm] Will you marry me now, young [Fm] lad?
Will you [C] marry me now or [Bb] never?
Will you marry me now, you soldier lad?
[Gm] I say, I'm [Cm] done, forever!
I can't marry you, my _ _ _ bunny,
[Bb] Where I have got a wife at [Eb] home, And [Dm] how could [Cm] I disown her?
A pint that's stayed a light, And a gallon in _ [Bb] _ _
my [Eb] heartbreak,
And the young ones are [Cm] my darlings,
[Bb] She said,
[Cm] I'll let the battle, the battle,
The battle beat,
[Bb] You idle on the [Ab] beat,
You idle [Gm] on the [Cm] beat,
You landed.
