As I [F#] roped out [C#] one evening fair, It been the summer time [F#] to take [C#] the air,
I spied [A#m] a sailor and a [C#] lady gay, And I [A#m] stood [C#] to listen, and I stood [F#] to [C#] listen, To hear [D#] what [G#] they [C#] would say.
He said, [F#] fair [C#] lady, why do you roam, [A#m] For the day [C#] is spent and [F#] the life [C#] is old,
She heaved a sigh while [G#] the [C#] tiffin' rolled.
For [A#m] my dark eyed [C#] sailor, For my dark eyed sailor, [G#] Snowyard and Stoutwood [C#] bow.
[F#]
[C#] It's seven [F#] long years [C#] since he left this [A#m] land, A [C#] ring he took from off [F#] his lily [C#] white hand, One half [A#m] of the ring is [G#] still here [C#] with me.
But [A#m] the others [C#]
rolled in, But the [F#] others [C#] rolled in, At the [G#] bottom of [C#] the sea.
He said, [F#] you may drive [C#] him out [A#m] of your mind, Some [C#] other young man you [F#] will surely [C#]
find, Love [A#m] turns the silent and [G#] soon [C#] cold does fall.
Like [A#m] a winter's [C#]
morning, Like a winter's morning, The hills [G#] go [C#] white with snow.

He said, [F#] I'll [C#] never forsake my dear, [F#] Although [C#] we're parted [F#] this [C#] many a year,
Then till [A#m] he was an [G#] old [C#] rake like you, To induce a maiden, You induce [F#] a [C#] maiden, To slide [G#] the jacket [C#] blue.
[F#] [C#] One half of [F#] the ring did [C#] young William [A#m] show, She [F#] ran [C#] distracted in [F#] grief [C#] and woe,
Saying, [A#m] William, William, I have [G#] [C#] fallen in snow, [C#]
For [A#m] my dark [C#] eyed sailor, For my dark [F#] eyed [C#] sailor, Has [G#] proved his [C#] old rule true.
Sandbird is [F#] a card [C#] he's played underlee, This couple's married and [F#] [C#] does agree, Snow maids [A#m] be loyal when [C#] you cross that sea.
What a [A#m] cloudy [C#] morning, What a cloudy morning, Brings in [G#] a sunny [C#] day.
