Verse:
Am                     B          Em
Early one morning, one morning in spring
   Am             D            G            B
To hear the birds whistle, the nightingales sing
  Em         D          Em          Bm
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
    Em          Am           B         Em
I’m going to be married next Monday morning

Verse:
Am                  B          Em
How old are you, my fair young maid
Am           D            G         B
Here in this valley, this valley so green
Em          D       Em         Bm
How old are you, my fair young maid
    Em           Am          B         Em
I’m going to be sixteen next Monday morning


Verse:
      Am                            B            Em
Well, sixteen years old, that’s too young for to marry
   Am        D                G         B
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry
    Em              D            Em        Bm
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
   Em           Am          B         Em
So put off your wedding for Monday morning


Verse:
    Am                   B             Em
You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill
     Am              D        G             B
Five years I’ve been waiting against my own will
    Em        D           Em          Bm
And now I’m determined to have my own way
        Em          Am           B         Em
And I’m going to be married next Monday morning


Verse:
     Am                       B         Em
Next Monday morning the bells they will ring
   Am             D        G          B
My true love will buy me a gay golden ring
Em         D        Em         Bm
Also he’ll buy me a new pretty gown
   Em         Am           B         Em
To wear at my wedding next Monday morning


Verse:
Am                       B        Em
Next Monday night when I go to my bed
      Am    D            G             B
And I turn around to the man that I’ve wed
Em         D             Em          Bm
Around his middle my two arms I will fling
      Em         Am          B         Em
And I wish to my soul it was Monday morning
