[Gm]
[F]
[G] [Dm]
[F]
It [Gm] was early [A] on a bright [Dm] harvest morning I [G] strayed by [Dm] the banks [G] of Sulong
[Cm] [Gm] To gaze on [F] such beauties of [Dm] nature [Gm] As grace [G] every woodland [Gm] knows
[C] [Gm] Oh, the prospect [F] was surely
[Dm] enchanting
[Gm] As gale-a [C]-seasoned [F] juvenile
[Eb]
[F] [Gm]
By [Dm] the banks of [F] that river [Gm] That flows [Dm] by the town of [Gm]
[Dm] [Gm]
[F]
[Gm] Ipinneri
In fond of [F] recreation To [Gm] the river I turned
[F]
[Gm] Too weary [Dm] from rumbling [F] And
[Dm] I [Gm] sat myself [Dm] down [G] by a grove
[Gm]
I sat there some time
[C] meditating [F]
Till [G] the sun, her bright rays had [Eb] withdrawn
And [Fm]
[Gm] the town [Dm] of Queen D [F] 'yepirre [Gm] Came down by [Dm] the banks of [Gm]
Sulong
I arose with [F] great joy [Eb] and amazement [F] [Gm] And casted [Dm] this damsel [Gm] so fair
[A]
[Gm] Far to me she [D] appeared like [F]
Venus
[Gm] Adorned with jewels most rare
Where I ruler of France, our [F] old Prussia
[Gm] It's with me, [F] it's soon will [Eb] I
[F] [Gm]
join
[Dm] In wedlock, my [F] darling, you're [Gm] worth beauty Of sweet Mousetown
[Dm] We [Gm]
walked and [F] we talked on [Dm] together
[Gm] Inhaling
[D] bright [Gm] pleasant air
Until in [Dm] a voice most [F] alarmist
[C] She said, see [F] my father [C] [Gm] goes there
His presence to me was [C] [Dm]
as sweet [Gm] As the sweetest of all
With his [C] cross-eyed looks and his [F] frown [Eb]
[F] Which [Gm]
pierced through [Dm] my heart like a [F] narrow
On [Gm] my way there to [Dm] sweet [Gm] Mousetown
[D] And [Gm]
[Dm]
[Gm] it's now [F] I've retired [Dm] from my ruling
[F] With [Gm] a heart full [Dm] of sorrow [G] and grief There [Gm] is no [C] one on [Am] earth can [Dm] console me
[Gm] Or give me a [Dm]
moment's [Bb] [C] relief
[D]
[Dm] I [Gm] will roam through the African [Dm] desert Until [Gm]
death [F] summons me to [Eb]
my tomb
[F]
[Gm] By the sea of [Dm] that charming fair [F]
island [Dm]
That [Gm] I met near [Dm] the town of Macroom
[Gm] [D] [Dm]
