Verse 1:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
As I was a-walking one midsummer's morning
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
I heard the birds whistle and the nightingales play
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
And there did I spy a beautiful maiden
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
As I was a-walking all on the highway

Verse 2:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
“O where are you going, my sweet pretty darlin' ?
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
O where are you going so early this morn?”
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
She said: “I'm going down to visit my neighbours;
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
I'm going down to Warwick, the place I was born.”

Verse 3:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
It's “May I come with you, my dear lovely lady?
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
May I go along in your sweet company?”
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
Then she turned her head and smiling all at me
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
Saying: “You may come with me, kind sir, if you please.”

Verse 4:

G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
We hadn't been walking but a few miles together
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
Before this young damsel began to show free
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
She sat herself down, saying: “Sit down beside me
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
And the games we shall play shall be one, two and three.”

Verse 5:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
I said: “My dear lady, if you're fond of the gaming
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
There's one game I know I would like you to learn
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
The game it is called: The Game of All Fours.”
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
So I took out my pack and began the first turn

Verse 6:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
She cut the cards first and I fell a-dealing
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
I dealt her a deuce and myself the poor jack
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
She led off her ace and stole my jack from me

Saying: “Jack is the card I like best in your pack.”

Verse 7:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
“Since I dealt them last time, it's your turn to shuffle
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
And my turn to show the best card in the pack.”
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
Once more she'd the ace and the deuce for to beat me
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
Once again I had lost when I laid down poor jack

Verse 8:
G+G           A minorAm D MajorD    G+G
So I took up my hat and I bid her: “Good morning,”
G+G         A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
I said: “You're the best that I know at this game.”
G+G       A minorAm  G+G
She answered: “Young man, if you'll come back to-morrow
G+G           D MajorD     G+G
We'll play the game over and over again.”
