[Verse 1]
As I [Am]was a [Dm]-walking one
midsummer's morning
As I [Am]was a -walking [Dm]one
[Am]midsummer's day
I spied a [Dm]young [Am]female,
[C]all dressed [Dm]in white linen
All dressed in white linen
And [C]as cold [Dm]as the clay
Oh mother, dear mother
Come sit down beside [C]me
[Dm]Come sit down beside me
And hear me sad case
For I have [Bb]loved a [C]soldier
Who [Am]is lately deserted
[Dm]And he's gone, and he's left me
In [Gm]shame and disgrace
[Bb]Oh d[Dm]aughter, dear daughter,
[C]why did[Am] n't you tell me?[C]
[Dm]Why didn't y[G]ou tell [C]me of [Am]it in [Bb]time?
Oh, [Dm]I could have brought [C]salt,
and the pills [Am]of white mercury.
[G]You're a true -he[Dm]arted girl,
[C]but cut dow[Gm]n in your pri[Dm]me
Oh, Doctor, dear [C]Doctor,
come [Am]fill up your bottles
[Dm]Come fill up your [C]bottles
An[Am]d make them quite [Bb]dry
[Dm]For my body [Bb]is a[C]ching
And my [Am]heart, it is breaking
[G]In this [Dm]shame and dismay
[C]I'm [G]afeard I must [Gm]die[Dm][Gm][Dm]
Now I want six jolly [C]sailors
to [Am]carry me coffin
[C]An [Am]d I want [Dm]six jolly s[C]oldiers
to [Am]sing me a song
And [Bb]I want six [Dm]pretty [C]virgins
Carry [Am]bunches [C]of roses[G]
So that you [C]may smell me
As [G]we roll [D]along[Dm]
So sound the fife lowly
[C]And [Dm]play that drum [C]slowly
[Dm]Sing out the dead
march as we roll along
Take me to the [C]graveyard
an[G]d l[Am]ay the sods o[Dm]n me
[G]I'm [Dm]a true hearted [C]girl
and I ain't nev[Gm]er done [Dm]wrong
Oh I'm a [C]true hearted girl
and I ain't nev[Dm]er done [C]wro[Dm]ng
