[D] Oh Mary, this [G] London's a wonderful sight [A] With people all working [D] by day and by night
They don't sell potatoes, [G] no barley, no wheat [A] But there's gangs of them digging [D] for gold in the street
[G] At least when I asked them [D] that's what I was told So I just took [F#m] a hand at [Em] this digging [A] for gold
[D] For all that I found there [G] I might as well be [A] Where the mountains of Morn [D] swift down to the sea

[D] believe that when writing [G] a wish you expressed [A] Asked to know how the ladies [D] in London were dressed
Well if you'll believe me [G] when asked to of all [A] They don't wear no top to [D] their dresses at [A] all
[D] [G] I've seen them myself and [D] you could not entrue Say if they [F#m] were bound for [Em] a ball or [A] a bath
[D] Don't be starting such fashions [G] now Mary McCree [A] Where the mountains of Morn [D] swift down to the sea
I've

[D] seen England's king from [G] the top of a bus [A] And I've never known him [D] but it means to know us
And though by the Saxon [G] we once were oppressed Still [A] I cheered, God forgive me, [D] I cheered with the rest
[G] And now that he's visited [D] Arran's green shore We'll be much better [F#m] friends than [Em] we've been here [A] before
When [D] we've got all we want we're [G] as quiet as can be Where [A] the mountains of Morn [D] swift down to the sea

[D] remember young Peter [G] of Loughlin of course [A] Well now he is here at the [D] head of the force
I met him today I [G] was crossing the strand And [A] he stopped the whole street with [D] the wave of his hand
[G] And there we stood talking [D] of days that are gone While the whole [F#m] population of [Em] London [A] looked on
But [D] for all these great powers [G] he's wishful like me To be [A] back where the dark Morn swift [D] down to the [B] sea
[E] There's beautiful girls here [A] oh never you mind [B] With beautiful shapes nature [E] never designed
And lovely complexions [A] all roses and cream [B] But let me remark with [E] regard to the same
[A] That if those roses [E] you venture to sip The colors might [G#m] all come [F#m] away [B] on your lip
So [E] I'll wait for the wild rose [A] that's waiting for me In [B] the place where the dark Morn swift [E] down to the sea
So I'll wait for the wild rose [A] that's waiting for me [B] In the place where the dark Morn [E] swift down to the sea
