_ [Bb] As I roved out of a [Eb] bright May morning, calm and clear was the weather, well a chance to
roam some miles from home, among the beautiful blooming heather, and as heather and the moor,
over the heather, over the moor, and among the heather, and a chance to roam some miles
from home, among the beautiful blooming heather, and as heather and the moor. _ _
_ _ [Bb] [Eb] As I roved along with my hunting song in my heart as light as any feather, _ I met a pretty
maid upon the way, she was [Bb] tripping the dew down from the [Eb] heather, and as heather and
the moor, over the heather, over the moor, and among the heather, and I met a pretty
maid upon the way, she was tripping the dew down from the heather, and as heather and the moor. _ _ _ _ _
Where are you going to pretty fair maid, for hill or dale, come tell me, where the right
modestly she answered me, to the feeding of the lambs together, and as heather and the
moor, over the heather, over the moor, and among the heather, right modestly she answered
me, to the feeding of the lambs together, and as heather and the moor. _ _ _ _
Well we both shook hands and done, we sat for a dream, the finest day in summer, _ and
we sat till the red setting beams of the sun came a sparkling down, among the heather,
and as heather and the moor, over the heather, over the moor, and among the heather, and
we sat till the red setting beams of the sun came a sparkling down, among the heather,
and as heather and the moor. _

_ Now she says I must [Ab] go [Eb] away from my sheep and lambs, I'll stray from the moor, but I
am a-lost apart from you, as those fond lambs are depart, their mother and as heather and the moor.

[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ Well she rose and away she goes, and her place and name I know not either, _ but if I was king
I'd make her queen, the last I met among the heather, and as heather and the moor, over
the heather, over the moor, and among the heather, and if I was king I'd make her queen,
[Ab] the last I [Bb] met among the heather, [Eb] and as heather and the moor. _ _
