Key

Auto-scroll

[Intro] A [Verse 1] So early, early in the spring

             G                 A
I shipped on board to serve my king

I left my dearest dear behind

A
She oft' times swore her heart was mine

[Verse 2] My love she takes me by the hand

           G                    A
“If ever I marry, you'll be the man"

A thousand vows so long and sweet

A
Saying, "We'll be married when next we meet"

[Verse 3] And all the time I sailed the seas

            G                 A
I could not find one moment's ease

In thinking of my dearest dear

A
And never a word from her could I hear

[Instrumental] A G A [Verse 4] At last we sailed into Glasgow town

             G                   A
I strode the streets both up and down

Inquiring for my dearest dear

A
And never a word from her could I hear

[Verse 5] I went straightway to her father's hall

           G               A
And loudly for my love did call

“My daughter's married, she's a rich man's wife

A
She’s wed to another, much better for life"

[Verse 6] If the girl is married that I adore

              G               A
I'm sure I'll stay on land no more

I'll sail the sea till the day I die

A
I'll break the waves rolling mountains high
