[tab]      C
All that long day

       C                 G               C
From break of dawn    until the sun was high

 G                                 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

 C
My boy Jimmy went that day

 F                G
And the big ship sailed away

                                 C
Sailed away and left me here to die

 G                                 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

   C
I met my love upon the mountain rim

     C
The day he left

    C               G              C
I knew I bore    a living child of him

   G                             C
I knew I bore a living child of him

 C
And the child was born to me

 F               G
Jimmy's gone a-cross the sea

                               C
Jimmy's gone and here alone am I

 G                                 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

    C
My Jimmy said he'd sail across the sea

     C
He swore his oath

       C                 G            C
He'd sai-l back     one day and marry me

 G                               C
He'd sail back one day and marry me

 C
But my Jimmy let me down

 F                G
Now they mock me in the town

                                C
Oh my Jimmy please come back to me

 G                              C
Oh my Jimmy please come back to me

 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

     C
All that long day

       C              G               C
From break of dawn until the sun was high

 G                                 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

      C
They let the mountains and the glens

     F               G
The lassies and the fine young men

                                   C
I saw the tears of every girl and boy

 G                                 C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
