[B] Turtle sit by the hock,
[C] Just listening to the barks and [G#m] the howls of [Bm] a duck,
[B] Or to walk [G] through the [B] green fields where wild [E] daisies grow,
To pluck the [B]
wildflowers in the May morning dew,
When summer is [C#] coming, [B] when summer is near,
With the trees all so green, and the sky bright and clear,
And the wee [G] birds all singing [D#] their love [B]
ones to,
And the young flowers [G#m] all springing [C#]
in the [B] May morning dew,
I [C#] remember the [G] old folk all [B] now dead and,
And likewise my [G] two brothers, young [B] Dennis and John,
How we ran o'er the [C] heather, [E] the wild hare to pursue,
[B]
And the [N] proud deer we hunted in [B] the May morning dew,
[C#] Of the house I was born [B] in there's but a stone on,
And now all round the garden wild [Bm] thistles have grown,
And [N] gone are the neighbours that I once knew,
[Bm] No more will we wander through [B] the May morning dew,
[N]
[C] Just listening to the barks and [G#m] the howls of [Bm] a duck,
[B] Or to walk [G] through the [B] green fields where wild [E] daisies grow,
To pluck the [B]
wildflowers in the May morning dew,
When summer is [C#] coming, [B] when summer is near,
With the trees all so green, and the sky bright and clear,
And the wee [G] birds all singing [D#] their love [B]
ones to,
And the young flowers [G#m] all springing [C#]
in the [B] May morning dew,
I [C#] remember the [G] old folk all [B] now dead and,
And likewise my [G] two brothers, young [B] Dennis and John,
How we ran o'er the [C] heather, [E] the wild hare to pursue,
[B]
And the [N] proud deer we hunted in [B] the May morning dew,
[C#] Of the house I was born [B] in there's but a stone on,
And now all round the garden wild [Bm] thistles have grown,
And [N] gone are the neighbours that I once knew,
[Bm] No more will we wander through [B] the May morning dew,
