My William sailed on board the [G] tender, And where he is [C] I do not [D] know,
For [G] seven [C] long years [Em] I have been [C] waiting,
[G] Since he has crossed the Bay of Biscay,
[A] [D]
One [G] night as Mary [D] lay asleep, [G]
A knock came to her [D] bedroom door,
Saying,
[G] Arise, arise, [Em] my lovely [C] Mary,
[G] It is your true lover, [C] William [Am] Moore,
[D] So
[G] Mary rose, put on her clothing, So swift she opened [D] up the door,
And there she saw [Em] her true lover [C] standing, [G] With his cherry [C] cheeks they [G] were [C] as white as [Am] snow,
[D]
O William dear, where are your blushes, Your [G] blushes you'd got some [D] time ago,
O
[G] [C] Mary dear, the [Em] clay has changed [C] me, [G] And I am the ghost of your [Am] William Moore,

And [G] I must leave you [Em] broken [C]-hearted, [G] Since I [C] have [G] crossed the Bay [C] of Biscay,
[A] And
[D] [G] if I had all gold and [G] silver, And all the money in [C] Mexico,
[D] Well [G] I'd give it [C] all [Em] to the Queen of England,
[G] For just [C] one kiss [G] from my [C] William [A]
Moore,
[D]
For my [G] William sailed on board the tender, And where [G] he is I do [D] not [D] know,
