    Gm        Dm          Gm        Bb       Dm     Gm
When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear

     Gm      Dm         Gm        Bb           Dm          Gm
The candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear

    Gm             Bb        C                    D                            
I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain

     Gm  Dm     Gm              Bb         D    Gm
She rose up to let me in, then barred the door again

  Gm         Dm    Gm          Bb     Dm    Gm
I like well your behavior and this I often say

   Gm    Dm       Gm         Bb    Dm   Gm
I cannot rest contented when I am far away

      Gm               Bb        C            D
The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about

    Gm     Dm       Gm               Bb      D      Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out

      Gm    Dm        Gm        Bb     Dm      Gm
Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie

   Gm      Dm   Gm         Bb     Dm      Gm
A-hugging one another, so why not you and I?

   Gm           Bb         C              D
A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt

    Gm     Dm      Gm                Bb      D      Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out

    Gm        Dm        Gm        Bb      Dm     Gm
I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do

      Gm      Dm         Gm            Bb        Dm     Gm
Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue                  

       Gm               Bb               C            D
The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about

      Gm      Dm      Gm            Bb       D      Gm
They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out

    Gm      Dm      Gm                    Bb     Dm   Gm
And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me

  Gm      Dm        Gm               Bb     Dm       Gm
Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee

     Gm                 Bb        C               D
When my three years are over, my time it will be out

    Gm     Dm      Gm             Bb          D      Gm
And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
