INTRO: G C D Am C D G As I roved out one fine May morning C G Am D To view the meadows and flowers gay C D Am Oh, who should I spot, but my own true lover C G D As she sat by yon willow tree Am C D G I took off my hat and I did salute her C G Am D I did salute her most courageously C D Am As she turned around, the tears fell from her C G D Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me Am C D G And the diamond ring I behold, I gave to you C G Am D A diamond ring to wear on your right hand C D Am But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them C G D Am And you wed the lassie who has the land." C D G "If I wed the lassie who has the land, my love, C G Am D It's that I'll rue 'til the day I die. C D Am When misfortune falls, sure the man may shun it, C G D Am It was my fault, that I'll not deny" INSTRUMENTAL: C G C Am D C D Am C D Am C D G "And at night when I go to my bed of slumber C G Am D The thoughts of my love are in my mind. C D Am As I turn around to embrace my darling, C G D Oh, instead of gold, sure 'tis brass I will find Am C D G And I wish The Queen would bring home all her armies C G Am D From the West Indies, America and Spain. C D Am And every man to his wedded woman C G D Oh, in hopes that I might be with thee again"
