[Verse]
                     C           DAs I walked out on a midsummer's morning
                G             C        DFor to view the fields and to take the air
            G            C         DDown by the banks of the sweet primroses
          G           C    D   GThere I beheld a most love lie fair

[Verse]
                     C          DThree short steps, I stepped up to her
            G          C         DNot knowing her as she passed me by
             G            C          DI stepped up to her, thinking for to view her
                G            C  D     GShe appeared to be like some virtuous bride

[Verse]
                          C       DI says, "Fair maid, where are you going
                 G         C        DAnd what's the occasion of all your grief?
                   G        C   DI will make you as happy as any lady
            G               C     D GIf you will grant to me one small relief"

[Verse]
                                C       D"Stand off, stand off, you're a false deceiver
          G               C      DYou are a false deceitful man, I know
                  G              C        D'Tis you that has caused my poor heart to wander
            G       C    D    GAnd in your comfort lies no refrain"

[Verse]
                         C        D"So I'll go down to some lonesome valley
                G           C        DWhere no man on earth shall there me find
                        G              C            DWhere the pretty little small birds do change their voices
          G            C   D      GAnd every moment blows blusterous wind"

[Verse]
                          C    DSo come all young men who go a-sailing
           G          C      DPray pay attention to what I say
                   G          C      DFor there's many a dark and a cloudy morning
             G    C  D     GTurns out to be a sunshiny day
