Chords with lyrics
[violin solo] C majorC
FF
as i roved out one summer night
G+G
to view the flowers and breathe the air
FF
'twas there i spied a tender maiden
C majorC
talkin' to her daughter so dear
C majorC
sayin' daughter oh daughter married you'll be
G+G
no longer to live the sweet single life
FF
mother oh mother i'd rather be
C majorC
some young sailor's wife
FF
well sailor boy likes to wander round
G+G
he will be your downfall
FF
you're better to wed a farmer boy
C majorC
for to see he never will go
C majorC
her mother came back from the fields
G+G
only to find her daughter so dear
FF
hanging from her blanket of blue
C majorC
in the lonely hour of night
[organ solo] C majorC
FF
as i roved out one summer night
G+G
to view the flowers and breathe the air
FF
'twas there i spied a tender maiden
C majorC
talkin' to her daughter so dear
