[Verse 1]
Three [Am]maidens a- milk[Dm]ing did go
Three maidens a- [Am]milking did go
[F]And the [Am]wind it blow [Dm]high and

[Dm]It tossed their petticoats to and fro

[Verse 2]
[Am]They [Dm]met w[Am]ith a young
[G]man [Dm]they know
[Gm]They met [Am]with a young [Dm]man they know[Am]
And they've asked it of
[Dm]him if he [Am]had a[G]ny s[Am]kill
[Dm]To c[G]atch them a [Am]small bird o[Dm]r two

[Verse 3]
[Am]Oh yes, I've a very [Dm]good skill
Oh yes, [Gm]I've a [Dm]very [F]good [Am]skill
And it's come away with [Dm]me to
[Am]the yonder [G]flower[Am]ing tree
And I'll catch you a small bird [G]or [Dm]two
So it's off to [Am]the greenwoods went

[Verse 4]
[Dm]they
It's off to [Bb]the green[Dm]woods
[Am]went they
And he's tapped at [G]the bush
[Dm]and the bird it di[Am]d fly [Dm]in[Am]
Just a [Dm]little [Am]above [Dm]her white knee
[Am]And [Dm]her sparkl[Am]ing eyes t[Dm]hey did

[Verse 5]
turn round
Just [Gm]as if s[Eb]he wa[Dm]s in [Am]a swound
And she cried "Oh,
[G]I've a bird [Dm]and a very[Am] prett[G]y bird
[Am]He's a- pecking away
at his [Dm]own ground"

[Verse 6]
[Am]Here's a [Dm]health [Am]to the
bird in the [Dm]bush
[Dm]Here's a [Gm]health to the [Dm]bird
in the bush
And we'll [Am]drink up the [Dm]sun,
and we'll drink down [Am]the moon
[Am]Let the neighbours [Dm]say little or much
