[C] One morning, [Bb] one morning, [F] one morning [C] in May, I spied a [Bb] young couple, [F] they were making [G] their way.
[C] One was [Am] a maiden, [Dm] so [G] bright and [C] so fair, and the other was [F] a [D] soldier [G] and a brave [C] volunteer.
Good morning, good [Bb] morning, good [F] morning [C] said he, and where are [Bb] you going [F] my pretty [G] lady?
[C] I'm going [G] out [Am] walking [Dm] on the banks of the [C] sea, just to see the [F] waters [G] light and hear the [C] nightingales sing.
Now they had not [Bb] been standing but [F] a minute or [C] two, but now the [Bb] kid in that sack [F] gave little [G] heed to.
[C] And the tune that he [Am] played [G] made the valleys [C] all ring, oh, how [F] cried the maiden, [G] hear the [C] nightingales sing.
Oh maiden, [Bb] fair maiden, it's [F] time to [C] give o'er.
Oh no, [Bb] kind soldier, [F] please play one [G] tune more, for [C] I'd rather [D] hear your fiddle [Am] [G] at the touch of [C] one string,
than to see the [F] waters light and hear [G] the [C] nightingales sing.
Oh soldier, [Bb] will [F] you marry [C] me?
Oh no, [Bb] pretty maiden, [F] that never shall [G] be.
[C] I've a wife [D] now [Am] in London, [Dm] and children [F] [C] twice three.
Do I've had [F] the armies [G] too many [C] for me?
Well I'll go back to [Bb] London, and [F] I'll stay there [C] for a year.
It's often that [Bb] I'll think of [F] you my little [G] dear.
[C] And if ever I [Am] return, [Dm] it will be in [C] the spring, just to see the [F] waters light and hear the [C] nightingales sing.
