Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

Once I had an English girl, from Liverpool came she

   F             C         F        C                  Am
So proper and so charming, sure she meant the world to me

    F                C           F   C     Am     G
Oh, when she drank a gin or two, she had a rovin' eye

    C               F              G          C
For soldier boys or sailor lads or anyone for-by

C  F    C     F                  G
Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

        C      G/B Am           F              G
But she proved un -true and she left without a warning

   F                   C     Dm              F   G

But oh dear me, I will never love a-gain

Next, I had a Scottish girl, she came frae Aber-deen

    F                C        F       C       Am        G
We rolled around the heather, and the wedding bells did ring

        C              F              G                 C
But she left me at the altar and went off on a highland fling

C  F    C     F                  G
Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

        C      G/B Am           F              G
But she proved un -true and she left without a warning

But oh dear me, I will never love a-gain

    F                  C                F   C             Am
She taught me well and showed me things I'd never seen be-fore

    F                 C         F      C        Am        G
She loved to live the high life and we lived it night and day

    C             F                 G             C
But when my money was all spent she went upon her way

    F               C          F       C                 Am
She nags me and she plagues me and she has me 'neath her thumb

    F                     C              F  C          Am     G
For five long years we're married though it seems like twenty more

    C                 F                G                  C
But still and all I'd miss her boys if she walked out the door

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
