[Dm] As I roved out on [F] a bright [G] May [C]
morning, to her [F]
[C] views [Dm] and flowers [G] came,
[C]
[F] Whom should I spy [G] but my own true [Dm] lover?
[C]
[F] As she sat and her [G] fume willowed me, [Dm] I took off my hat [F] and I did [G]
salute [C] her.
I did [F]
salute [C] her most [Dm]
[G] courageously, [C]
When [F] she turned around where [G] the tears fell from [Dm] her.
[F] Sing, false young man, you've [G] deluded me.
[Dm] A diamond ring I [F] owned, [G] I gave [C] you, A die [F]
[E] to wear [Dm] on your [G] right hand.
[D] But the [F] vows you made, love [G] you earned, and broke [Dm] them.
[F] Unmarried, the lassie, it [G] hurt the land.
[Dm] If I married the lassie [F] that hurt [G] the land, [C] my love,
It's that [F] I root here, [Dm] the day [G] I die.
[C] When [F] misfortune falls, shun [G] a man can [Dm] shun it.
[C] I [F] was blindfolded [G] from their denying.

Now at [Dm] nights when I go to my [F] bed [G] of
[C] slumber,
My thoughts [F] of my [C] true love [Dm] roam in my [G] mind.
When [F] I turn around to [G] embrace my [Dm] darling,
[F]
Instead of gold, show [G] it's brass I find.
And [Dm] I wish the queen [F] would call home [G] her [C]
army.
From the West [F] [Am]
Indies, [Dm] America [G] and Spain,
[C] And [F]
every man to his [G]
wedded [Dm] woman,
[C] In [F] hopes that you and I [G] will meet again.
