Misc Traditional – Bay Of Biscay (Guitar)

     D       A        G        A
My love he sails on board a tender

      D       G   Em       A
And where he lies I do not know.

      D                          A         D
For seven long years I've been constantly waiting

           D          G     Em    A
Since he crossed the Bay of Biscay-o.

      D       A    G      A
One night as Mary lay a-sleeping,

    D        G       Em       A
A knock came to her bedroom door,

                D        A         D
Twas there she saw her true love standing,

     D         G        Em        A
His two pale cheeks as white as snow.

      D    A          G          A
Oh Willy dear, where are those blushes,

        D        G        Em     A
Those blushes I knew long long ago?

          D         A         D
Oh Mary dear, the wild waves lash them

       D        G            Em   A
I am only the ghost of your Willy-o.

    D     A        G        A
Oh Mary dear, the dawn is breaking.

    D        G       Em    A
I fear its time for me to go

              D          A      D
I am leaving you quite broken-hearted

         D        Em      G   A
For to cross the Bay of Biscay-o.

   D        A      G        A
If I had all the gold and money

     D        G        Em  A
And all the silver of Mexico

                    D          A       D
I would grant them all to the King of Erin

         D       G       Em   A
For to bring me back my Willy-O.

    D        A        G       A
My love he sails on board a tender

     D         G    Em       A
And where he lies I do not know.

                 D               A         D
For seven long years I've been constantly waiting

           D          G      Em    A
Since he crossed the Bay of Biscay-o.
