    Am              EmAnd who are you, me pretty fair maid 
    Am              EmAnd who are you, me honey? 
    Am                GShe answered me quite modestly:

     Am                     G I'll open the door and I'll let you in 
    GAnd divil 'o one would hear us. 
(Chorus)


     Am                       EmSo I went to her house in the middle of the night 
         Am               EmWhen the moon was shining clearly ( repeat ) 
    Am                      GShe opened the door and she let me in 
    GAnd divil the one did hear us.

        Am             EmAnd she led him to the stable ( repeat ) 
                Am                   GSaying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse, 
   GTo eat it if he's able." 
(Chorus)

 
         Am             EmThen she took me by the lily-white hand 
        Am            EmAnd she led me to the table ( repeat ) 
                Am                   GSaying: There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy, 
   GTo drink it if you're able. 
(Chorus)


     Am           EmThen I got up and made the bed 
      Am               EmAnd I made it nice and aisy ( repeat ) 
     Am           GThen I got up and laid her down 
        GSaying: Lassie, are you able? 
(Chorus)


    Am                    EmAnd there we lay till the break of day 
    Am              EmAnd divil a one did hear us ( repeat ) 
     Am              GThen I arose and put on me clothes 
        GSaying: Lassie, I must leave you. 
(Chorus)


    Am            EmAnd when will you return again 
    Am               EmAnd when will we get married ( repeat ) 
     Am                 GWhen broken shells make Christmas bells 
GWe might well get married.
(Chorus)
