G Am G
It was one morning // In the spring
G Am G
I went on board // To serve the king
F C G
I left my dearest // Dear behind
G Am G
Who of'times told me // Her heart was mine
G Am G
When I came back // To her father's hall
G Am G
Inquiring // For my jewel
F C G
Her cruel father // This reply
G Am G
Her momma says // If you deny
G Am G
Oh she has married // Another man
G Am G
A richer man // For all his life
F C G
A richer man // For all his life
G Am G
And he has made her // His lawful wife
