[Em] One evening for pleasure [D] I rambled [A] On [Em] the banks of [D] some cold purlin [Em] stream
I sat down on a bed of [A] primroses And I gently fell [G] into a dream
[Em] I dreamt that I saw a fair female A reef what I never [A] saw before
[Em] And I sighed for the loss of our [A] country As we [G] strayed there on island [E] green shores
[A] [F#m] [Em]
[E] [Em]
[E] Her cheeks were [G] like two blooming [D] roses [A] And her teeth were [G] like [Em] ivory so white
[Bm] [E] Her [G] eyes shone like two sparkling [D] diamonds [A] Or the stars on some [E] cold frosty night
She [Em] was dressed every just attire The green muslin handle that she [E] wore
All bowed down with the hemlocks and the roses As we strayed there [A] on [E] island green [Em] shores
[D] [A]
[G] [Em]
Transgression [G] of joy [D] I awoke [A] And found this was [Em] only a dream
That [G] pretty fair female [D] had fled me [Em] And I longed to be slumbering again
May the heavens above be her guardian [E] Oh no I'll never see her anymore
May the golden [G] sunbeams shine upon her She lies sleeping on island green [Em] shores

sat down on [Em] a bed [E] of primroses And [C#m] I [Bm] gently fell [A#] into [E] a dream
