One evening before [C] I took [G]
the air [F] down a pine,
[C] that [G] water sign was [C] a-gazing [G] all the [C] way [G] around me.
At [F] the Irish [C]
[G] lad I spy,
[Em]
[G] [Em] all through [G] the first [C] part of [G]
the night,
we [F] did a [C] lion's [G] sport and play.
And [C] this young [G] man rose, [C] he gathered [G] his of those,
[F] saying, the father [C] of [G] all today,
[C]
[G] [C] that's [G] not the promise that [C] you gave [G] to me.
[F] When first [C] you lay on [G] my breast, you [C] could make [G] me believe,
[C] your lying [G]
tongue, [F] that the [C] sun [G]
goes in the [C] west.

that you [F] got [C] with your [G] wanting will.

There's not a gun [C] in this [G] whole town,
