_ _ _ [D] Once I was a waiting man, [C] not to live at home, that is, _ [G] Now I am [C] a [G] mariner [D] that loves the angry [G] seas.
_ [D] Away on the slopes [Am] he fared in life, I [C] [D] bid me [G] love adieu, _ I shipped his steward [C] and [G] cooked me bails [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _
But [D] I never thought she would prove false [C] or either prove untrue, as [G] he sailed away to [C] rumour [G] the bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Think [D] of me, [C] oh think of me, [D] she mournfully did [C] say, _ [G] when you were in [C] a [G] foreign land and [D] I am [G] far away.
_ _ [D] Take this love [Am]-beater up a bit, _ [C] it'll [G] make you bear to mind, _ that love and trust and faithful heart [D] you left in tears [G] behind.
_ Cheer up, [D] cheer up [C] me aunt, true love, [D] don't weep so _
[C] bitterly.
[G] She sobbed, she sighed, she [C] choked, she [G] cried and [D] could not say [G]
goodbye.
_ Oh [D] I won't be gone [Am] for very [C] long, just put a [D] month [G] or two, _ when I will [C]
return [G] again, [D] of course I'll [G] visit.
_ _ [D] Oh I never thought she would prove false [C] or either prove untrue, as [G] we sailed away to [C]
rumour [G] the bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Our ship _ [C] was homeward bound [D] from many's the Farden [C] shore, _ [G] and many's the Farden [C] _ [G] presents [D] unto me love [G] I bore.
[D] I brought _ torches from [Am] Tenerife [C] and [G] tines from Timbuktu, _ _ a china-wrapped and a Bengal-capped [D] and a Bumbac [G] pocket.
_ _ Head off I [D] sought [C] her dwelling on [D] the street above [C] the town, _ [G] where an ancient dam [C] upon [G] the line [D] was hanging out [G] her gout.
[D] Where is my love?
[Am] She's vanished, sir, [C] about [D] six months [G] ago, _ with this marching man [C] that drives the [G] van [D] for Cheaple and [G] Sonnet _ _ Cove.
[D] Oh I never thought she would prove false [C] or either prove untrue, [G] as we sailed away to [C] rumour [G] the bay [D] and bore the [G] kangaroo. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ Here's to [D] help me dream [C] the merry life [D] of soft soot [C] and blue, _ [G] parts to love [C] and faith [G] and starch [D] and to wash and [G] soot.
_ _ [D] Are we going to [Am] some Farden shore, my love, [D] or [G] can I stay?
_ _ On some china-hot and tatter [D] you'll throw yourself [G] away.
_ Oh me love, [D] she is [C] no foolish girl, [D] her age it is to [C] score.
_ [G] Me love, she is no [C] [G] spinster, she's [D] been married [G] twice before.
_ [D] Oh I cannot [A] say it [Am] was her wealth that stole me heart [G] away, _ she's a washer in [C] a laundry [G] for [D] one and [G] nine a day.
_ [D] Oh I never thought she would prove false [C] or either prove untrue, [G] as we sailed away [C] to rumour the [G] bay [D] and bore [G] the kangaroo. _ _ _ _ _
