   C5       G5     C5        F5
as i roved out one summer night
   C5         F5         C5            G5
to view the flowers and breathe the air
C5             G5      C5       F5
'twas there i spied a tender maiden 
C5       F5      G5           C5
talkin' to her daughter so dear

       F5           C5       G5               C5
sayin' daughter oh daughter married you'll be
F5            C5        G5 
no longer to live the sweet single life
C5         G5         C5       F5
mother oh mother i'd rather be
C5    F5     G5        C5
some young sailor's wife

    C5       G5           C5       F5
well sailor boy likes to wander round
C5        F5     C5        G5
 he will be    your downfall
C5                 G5    C5       F5
 you're better to wed a farmer boy
C5      F5      G5          C5
for to see he never will go

F5               C5    G5        C5
her mother came back from the fields
F5       C5        G5 
only to find her daughter so dear
C5       G5       C5           F5 
hanging from her blanket of blue
C5      F5      G5       C5
in the lonely hour of night
