C5 - F5 - C5 C5 F5 C5 A5 As I roved out one evening fair C5 F5 C5 F5 It bein' the summertime to take the air A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 I spied a sailor and a lady gay A5 C5 And I stood to listen F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 And I stood to listen to hear what they would say. C5 F5 C5 A5 He said "Fair lady, why do you roam C5 F5 C5 For the day is spent and the night is on" A5 G5 C5 She heaved a sigh while the tears did roll A5 C5 "For my dark-eyed sailor F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 For my dark-eyed sailor, so young and stout and bold." C5 F5 C5 A5 "'Tis seven long years since he left this land C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 A ring he took from off his lily-white hand A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 One half of the ring is still here with me A5 C5 But the other's rollin' F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 But the other's rollin' at the bottom of the sea." C5 F5 C5 A5 He said "You may drive him out of your mind C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 Some other young man you will surely find A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 Love turns aside and soon cold has grown A5 C5 Like the winter's morning F5 C5 G5 C5 Like the winter's morning, the hills are white with snow." C5 F5 C5 A5 She said "I'll never forsake my dear C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 Although we're parted this many a year A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 Genteel he was and a rake like you A5 C5 To induce a maiden F5 C5 G5 C5 To induce a maiden to slight the jacket blue." C5 F5 C5 A5 One half of the ring did young William show C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 She ran distracted in grief and woe A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 Sayin' "William , William , I have gold in store A5 C5 For my dark-eyed sailor F5 C5 G5 C5 For my dark-eyed sailor has proved his honour long" C5 F5 C5 A5 And there is a cottage by yonder lea C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 This couple's married and does agree A5 G5 C5 F5 C5 So maids be loyal when your love's at sea A5 C5 For a cloudy morning F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 For a cloudy morning brings in a sunny day.
