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