[B] [E]
It was an evening in Ross Cray [A] in the merry [E] month of May
When the roses and the heather [F#m] were in bloom
They [B] were in bloom
[E] A young lady passed me by
[A] And she gave me [E] the glad eye
Why the bright [B] silvery light [E] of the moon
Well I got an awful fright
For [F#m] it was true love [E] at first sight
And I thought I couldn't marry [F#] her too soon
[B]
We [E] got tied up right away
[A] In an abbey [E] near Ross Cray
Why the bright [B] silvery light [E] of the moon
Well it started getting late
[A] And she asked for [E] me to wait
And when I got up to the door of [F#] her [B] bedroom
[E] Well there upon a chair
Was [A] her teeth and [E] golden hair
Why the bright [B] silvery light [E] of the moon
Well [A] there was an old girl who stood by
And [E] she began to soar
But she nearly fell out of flight
As a [F#] cross flew
[B]
And [E] there upon a peg
[A] Was a fluffy big [E] wooden legged
Why the bright [B] silvery light [E] of the moon
Well I grabbed her by the head
[A] And I dragged her [E] out of bed
And like a broken doll she lay there [F#m] in the gloom
All [B] in the gloom
[E] It would break a million hearts
[A] For to see all her [E] spare parts
Why the bright silvery [B] light [E] of the moon
So young men take my advice
[A] Always look at the [E] queer one's advice
For they're always out to catch us
[F#] Us [B] poor girls too
[E] Pull her teeth, pull her hair
[A] For to make sure [Em] she's all fair
Why the bright silvery [B] light [E] of the moon
Why the bright silvery light of the moon
