[Verse 1]
[D]As I walked [C]out one May [A]mornin',
[Em]one May mornin' be time,
I met a maid [D]from home [Em]a -stray
[C]just as [Am]the sun [D]did shine.
[A]What [Em]makes you rise so soon,
my dear?
Your journey to pursue,
your pretty little feet,
they tread so neat,
[D]strike off the morning dew.
[A]I'm gone [Em]in search of
[C]my father[Am]'s flock[A]s,
his [Em]young and tender lambs,
That [D]over [Em]hills and over dales
[D]lie [C]bleeding [E]for their [D]dams.
O stay,
O stay,
[Em]O answer me,
[A]res[D]t but one[Em] moment here,
[E]for [Em]there is none [D]save you [E]alone
that [D]I d[A]o love m[E]ost dear.
[D]How[E] glo[D]rious wil[E]l I,
[Em]the sun [D]do shine![A]
[E]How pleasant [Em]is th[D]e air!
I would rather rest
[E]On my [D]true love's [E]breast
Than [D]any other where.
[E]For [A]I a[E]m thine, t[D]hou a[A]rt mine,
[Em]no man shall [D]uncome for thee.
[Em]We'll join our [D]hands in wedded [Em]bands[D],
and married we will be.
