Verse
    Am             F        G
One morning in the month of May
     C            F G C
Down by a flowing river..
  Am           F          G
A jolly sailor chanced to stray
     C              F G C
When he beheld some lover..
                         Em
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown
    Am                        F
Her hair in ringlets, hanging down
        Am               F     G
She'd a lovely brow, without a frown
     C                 F G C
Just as the tide was a-flowing

Verse
   Am                 F        G
No more did stay, but on their way
     C             F G C
They both did go together
    Am                       F         G
The small birds sang and the lambs did play
    C                F G C
And pleasant was the weather
                       Em
Then being weary, they both sat down
  Am                                 F
Beneath the trees with the branches 'round
    Am                  F        G
And what was said shall ne'er be known
     C                 F G C
Just as the tide was a-flowing

Verse
     Am                      F        G
Then on the grass this young girl did roll
    C              F G C
Her colour it kept changing
     Am                 F      G
This pretty maid called out, ?Alas!
      C                  F G C
Don't let your mind be a-ranging?
                    Em
She gave him twenty pound in store
         Am                         F
Saying, ?Meet me when you will have more
      Am           F  G
For a jolly sailor I adore
     C                 F G C
Just as the tide was a-flowing

Verse
     Am                      F        G
They kissed, shook hands and then did part
     C                 F G C
Jack Tar drank rum and brandy
        Am                F       G
?And to keep my shipmates in good cheer
     C                   F G C
That lady's gold came in handy
                          Em
And with some other young girl you'll go
       Am                          F
To the public bar where the brandy flow
     Am              F       G
Give me the lad that will do so
     C                 F G C   F  C  G
Just as the tide was a-flowing
     C                 F G C   F  C  G
Just as the tide was a-flowing
     C                 F G C
Just as the tide was a-flowing
