[Verse]

      Am                           F               DThese very words he said to me, "I wish you were a maid
     G                 Am                 C     Am      GYour cherry cheeks and ruby lips, they've often enticed me
  Am                        F        G                AmI wish to the gods, unto my heart, a maid you were to me"

[Verse]
                          F              GIn three days after that, we did land on shore
  Am                          F            Am"Adieu, adieu, dear captain, adieu forever more
  G            Am                 C      Am    GA sailor boy I was on ship, but a maid I am on shore
 Am                          F       G    AmAdieu, adieu, dear captain, adieu forever more"
