[Verse 1]
In [Dm]London so [C]fair [Am]a lady she liv[Dm]ed there,
A lady of [Em]great beauty
[Am]and great might,
And un[Dm]to t[Am]his lady f[C]air I[Gsus4]
[Am]be came a servant there,
And [Dm]in me she [Em]took a great [C]de [Dm]light.

[Verse 2]
Now this lady had a [C]son of
[Am]wealth and [Em]beauty born,
[Am]And [Dm]he beca[Am]me a sa[Em]ilor[Am] on the sea,
And he courted that [C]fair maid till
he [Am]had her heart betrayed,
[Dm]An d then he was b[Em]ound f[Am]or th[Dm]e sea.

[Verse 3]
It happened one [Am]day in the
bedroom [Dm]where they lay,
[Am]And the [Dm]tears [Am]from h[Em]er eye
[Am]s they did flow,
Saying, "Young man [Dm]you are go
[Am]ing away [C]so far[Am] from me to str[Dm]ay,
[Am]And to leave m[Dm]e on th[Em]e shores
[Am]for [Dm]to mourn."

[Verse 4]
"Oh [Dm]no, no", s[Am]ays he,
"such things can never [Dm]be,[Em]
[Dm]For as long as I'm a [Em]sailor [Am]on the sea,
The ship that I command [C]she
[Dm]will never reach [Am]dry land,
On the [Dm]day that I prove false,
[Em]love, [Am]unto thee.[Dm]"

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
She cut off her yel[Am]low hair
that hung [Em]down her [Dm]back so fair,
For fear that [Am]any [Em]body w[G]ould h[Am]er know,
Then in a sailor's [G]dress,
[Am]that very night she went,
And [Dm]straight to the captain [Am]she did [Dm]go.
She being neat [Am]and slim complete

[Verse 6]
[Am]
in every limb,
[Dm]And the clothes fitted t[Em]ightly
[Am]to her knee,
While the crew unto her [G]gazed the
[Am]captain [Em]to her s[Am]ays,
"Young [Dm]man now were you
[Em]ever [C]on [Dm]the sea?"

[Verse 7]
"Oh no, no", [Am]says she,
"I was [Em]nev er [Dm]on the sea,
But ship me [Am]as a y[Em]oung s[Am]ailor bold,
For I now do choose [G]to go
[Am]where the stormy winds do blow,
[C]To purcha[Dm]se some sil
[Em]ver [Am]and some g[Dm]old."

[Verse 8]
It happened one [Am]day in the
cabin where he lay,
[Dm]And the tears from his[Am]
eyes they did flow,
Saying, [Dm]"You're like a[Am] lover of mine
[G]that I [Am]think on many's the time,
That I [Dm]left on the shores [Am]for to m[Dm]ourn."

[Verse 9]
"Oh [Dm]no, no", s[Am]ays she,
"such things [Em]can never [Dm]be,
[Am]For as long [Dm]as I'm a sailo[Em]r on[Am] the s[G]ea,[Am]
The ship [Dm]that [Am]I co[G]mmand
[Am]it'll never reach dry land,
On the [Dm]day that I prove [Em]false, love,
[Am]unto [Dm]thee."

[Verse 10]
His own words he [Am]knew she
spoke be[Dm]neath the crew,
[Am]So into [Dm]her arms[Em] flew [Am]like a dove,
Saying, [Dm]"Do not [Am]shed a[G] tear
[Am]you have followed me my dear,
And [Dm]it's married,
it's mar[Em]ried [Am]we wi[Dm]ll be."
They sent [Am]for

[Verse 11]
clerk,
they sen[Em]t fo[Dm]r a mate,
They sent [Am]for a clergyman likewise,
Now this couple they are [G]wed
[Am]an d together they do bed,
[Dm]An d now they're living ha[Em]ppy on[Am] the sea[Dm].
