Once I courted a pretty fair maid
FF C majorC G+G
She was handsome, tall and youg

Until at length I did discover

That she had a false and flattering tongue
C majorC
If I had have loved her foolish would I be
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
But love will never, never conquer me
Chorus:
C majorC
No nor anyone but we control
FF C majorC G+G
To keep me from my flowing bowl

When I am single, single I am free

Love will never, never conquer me

Then of some day I'll get some riches

And I might have to take a wife

But we would fight for the old bridges

And she would lead a terrible life

But boys, no, this never could be

For love will never, never conquer me

C majorC
Perhaps some day I'll take a notion
FF C majorC G+G
And I might cross the ocean wave
C majorC
To where I could die without a motion
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
And these last words put above me grave
C majorC
Here lies a youth who never was tied
FF C majorC G+G
To any old nag or scolding bride
C majorC
For when I am single, single I am free
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
And love will never, never conquer me

No nor anyone but we control
