as i roved out one summer night
   C         F         C            G
to view the flowers and breathe the air
C             G      C       F
'twas there i spied a tender maiden 
C       F      G           C
talkin' to her daughter so dear

       F           C       G               C
sayin' daughter oh daughter married you'll be
F            C        G 
no longer to live the sweet single life
C         G         C       F
mother oh mother i'd rather be

some young sailor's wife

well sailor boy likes to wander round
C        F     C        G
 he will be    your downfall
C                 G    C       F
 you're better to wed a farmer boy
C      F      G          C
for to see he never will go

F               C    G        C
her mother came back from the fields
F       C        G 
only to find her daughter so dear
C       G       C           F 
hanging from her blanket of blue
C      F      G       C
in the lonely hour of night
