C             G7       C
A-rovin' on a winter's night

And a-drinkin' good old wine,

C         F         C             Am
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl,

Am   C          G7       C
Thats broke this heart of mine.

She is just like a butter rose,

                    G7    F  C
That bloomed in the month of June.

C            F       C     Am
Or like some musical instrument,

Am    C         G7     C
That's just been lately tuned.

C                        G7      C
Perhaps it's a trip to a foreign land, 

          G7     F  C
A trip to France or Spain, 

C               F           C   Am
But if I should go ten thousand miles, 

Am   C      G7    C
I'm a-comin' back again.

[Verse 4]

C                                G7          C
And it's who's a-gonna shoe your poor little feet, 

                    G7    F           C
Honey who's a-gonna glove your little hands? 

C             F     C             Am
Who's a-gonna kiss your sweet sweetlips, 

Am            C       G7      C
Tell me, who's a-gonna be your man?

[Verse 5]

C                      G7       C
I'll love you till the sea runs dry, 

C                 G7   F      C
And the rocks all melt in the sun. 

C          F         C    Am
I love you till the day I die, 

Am        C    G7          C
Though you will never be my own.

C             G7       C
A-rovin' on a winter's night

And a-drinkin' good old wine, 

C         F         C             Am
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl, 

Am  C          G7       C
That broke this heart of mine.
