[Verse 1]
A [G]nobleman's [D]son,
he [Gm]dreamed [Em]such [D]a dream
Of the beauti[D]fulest [Gm]girl in the [D]nation
[Gm]No counsel w[G]ould he ta[Cm]ke,
[D]but[F#m] journ[D]eys he'd [G]make
Through Ire[D]land to seek this [Em]fair
[D]creature[G][D]
[G]'Twas seven lon[D]g years he

[Verse 2]
[G]
searched [D]here and there
'Til he came [D]to the place where
[Gm]he'd meet [D]her
[Gm]He opened [C]the door [F#m]and she
[D]stood on the [G]floor[E][D]
[Bm]She [D]was a laboring man's
[Gm]daughter[G][Gm]
[G]I never

[Verse 3]
have [D]seen you
but [Gm]once [D]in my life
And that [D]was in a dream,
[Gm]you lay by m[D]e
[Gm]And now you'[D]re beside me,[C]
[D]by the look in [G]your [D]eyes
[Em]I know[G] that you[D]
ne'er will [G]deny me[D]
[G]And what's your [D]desire, pray

[Verse 4]
[G]tell [Gm]me,
[G]kind sir[D]
That you're so [Gm]afraid of [D]denial?
Al[G]though [D]I am [C]poor,
[D]no scorn will I [G]endure
Do not [D]put me under such [G]trial[Gm]
[G]No scorn will I

[Verse 5]
[D]bring,
[G]nor [C]any such [D]thing
And he took out [D]a r[G]ing a[D]s a token
Oh [Gm]love [G]is [D]a thing [C]whi[D]ch
does hang on [Gm]a str[F#m]ing[B]
[G]But between us [D]it ne'er
will [G]be broken[D]
[G]And [Bm]if I [F#m]should [D]consent your

[Verse 6]
[G]
bride [C]for [D]to be
Your parents [D]would
[Gm]both be offe[D]nded
[G]Be [Gm]sides they [D]would always [C]be
[D]frowning on [Gm]me[D]
[G]Because you [D]are highly des[G]cended
[G]For father and [D]for

[Verse 7]
mother I
[G]have [Gm]none in t[C]his [D]world
I have none but [C]my [D]self
[Gm]and a brot[D]her[Gm]
[D]And as [Gm]for my fr[C]iends,
[D]they will not frown [G]on me
So we [D]can but love [G]one another
[G]So

[Verse 8]
now they has [D]gained
[G]what love [C]an d de[D]light
And they are [D]living in joy [D]and plenty
The [G]la boring man's daughter
has married a knight
Heaven protect them both together
