[C] One morning, [Bb] one morning, [F] one morning [C] in May, I spied a [Bb] young couple, [F] they were making [Dm] their [G] way.
[C] One was [Am] a maiden, [Dm] so bright [G] and so [C]
fair, and the other was a [F] soldier [D] and [G] a brave volunteer.
[C]
Good morning, [Bb] good morning, [F] good morning [C] said he, and where [Bb] are you going [F] my [G] pretty lady?
[C] I'm going [Am] out walking [Dm] on the banks of [C] the sea, just to see the [F] waters [G] gliding, hear the [C] nightingales sing.
Now they had not [Bb] been standing [F] but a minute or [C] two, and out [Bb] of his knapsack [F] a fiddle [G] he drew.
[C] And the tune that he [Am] played [Dm] made the valleys [C] all ring, oh, how [F] cried the maiden, hear the [G]
[C] nightingales sing.
Oh maiden, [Bb] fair maiden, [F] it's time to [C] give o'er, oh no, [Bb] kind soldier, [F] please play one [Cm] tune more,
[G] for [C] I'd rather [D] hear your fiddle [Am] [Dm] at the [G] touch [Dm] of [C] one string than to see the [F] waters gliding, hear [G] the [C] nightingales sing.
Oh soldier, [Bb] kind soldier, 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 too [G] many for [C] me?
Well I'll go back to [Bb] London, and [F] I'll stay there for [C] a year.
It's often that [Bb] I'll think of you [F] my little [G] dear.
[C] And if ever I [Am] return, it [Dm] will be in the [C] spring, just to see the [F] waters gliding, hear the [G]
[C] nightingales sing.
Just to see the [F] waters gliding, hear the [G]
[C] nightingales sing.
