[Verse 1]
Am G Am A Newfoundland sailor went walking on the strand Am G Am He spied a pretty, fair young maid and took her by the hand Am G Am "Oh will you go to Newfoundland a-long with me?" he cried Am G Am But the answer that she gave to him was Oh no, not I
[Verse 2]
Am G Am If I were to marry you, on me 'twould be the blame Am G Am Your friends and relations would scorn me to shame Am G Am If you were born of noble blood and me of low de-gree Am G Am Do you think that I could marry you? It's oh no, not me
[Verse 3]
Am G Am Six months being over and seven coming nigh Am G Am This pretty fair young maiden she be-gan to look so shy Am G Am Her corsets would not meet and her apron would not tie Am G Am Made her think on all the times when she said oh no, not I
[Verse 4]
Am G Am Eight months being over and nine coming on Am G Am This pretty fair young maiden she brought forth a son Am G Am She wrote a letter to her love to come most speed-ily Am G Am But the answer that he gave to her was Oh no, not me

[Verse 5]
Am G Am He said My pretty fair maid, the best thing you can do Am G Am Is take your child upon your back and a-begging you may go Am G Am And It's when that you get tired you can sit you down to cry Am G Am And think on all the times when you said Oh no, not I
[Verse 6]
Am G Am So come all you pretty fair maids, a warning take by me Am G Am Don't ever put your trust in the green willow tree Am G Am For the leaves they will wither and the root it will die Am G Am Make you think on all the times when you said Oh no, not I
