Pretty fair maid was in her garden [F#m] when a stranger [E] came a [A]-ridin' by.
[E] He came up [A] to the gate and called, [B]
said, [E] Pretty fair maid, [A] would you be my bride?
She said, I have a true love who's in the army, and he's [F#m] been gone [A] for seven long years.
And if [F#m] he's gone for seven [D] years longer, [E] I'd still be waitin' [A] for him.

Perhaps [E] he's on some water-course trail, perhaps [F#m] he's on [E] some [A] battlefield slain,
perhaps he's too fair [D] a girl to marry, [E] and you may [Bm] never see him again.
But if he's drowned, I hope he's happy, or [F#m] if he's on [E] some [A] battlefield slain,
or if [F#m] he's too sad a fair girl to [A] marry, I'd love [E] the girl who [A] married him.
He

pulled his hand out of his pocket, and [F#m] on his finger [E] he wore a [A] golden ring.
And when she saw [Bm] that band [E] shining, a brand new song her [A] heart did sing.
Then he threw his arms all around and kissed his [E] gaze, heard [A] a one, two, three.
Said, [F#m] I'm your true and [D] loving soldier, just come [E] back home [A] to marry me.
