[Verse 1]
When [G]I w[D]as [G]a youn[Em]g man,
[Am]I hadn't [D]a penny.
When [G]shall we [Em]marry, my
Molly [Am]would [D]say.
But I [G]was a [Em]wise [Am]man and
said to my [D]darling,
[G]Love that [C]is true love will [Am]not fade [D]away.
[G]Oh, [Am]the youth [G]of the heart and[Em] the
[Am]dew in [D]the morning,
You wake and [Am]they lift you
[G]without [Am]any warn[D]ing.[G][D]
I went [G]to
Amer[Em]ica looking [Am]for m[D]oney,
I worked [G]all [Em]the day and I [Am]slept all alone.
[D]The [G]sweet silver [Em]dollars I save
[Am]for my [D]darling
To close [G]her in [C]satin [Am]an
d make her [D]my [G]own
[Bm]Oh, [D]the [Am]youth [G]of the heart
[Em]and the [Am]dew in [D]the morning
You wake [G]and they've [Am]left
you without [G]any [D]warn[G]ing
[D]I came bac[G]k to
[Em]Ire land, my pockets[Am] a -[D]jingle,
The wedding bells [G]rang as
[Am]I came down the [D]street.
Oh, [G]where is the
[Em]Colleen I've [Am]come back to [D]marry? I asked [G]the
first neighbour [C]I happened[D] to meet.
[G]Oh, [Bm]the [Am]youth[D] of th[G]e heart an[Em][Am]
d the dew in the [D]morning,
You wake [G]and they've [Am]left you
without [D]any [G]warning.[D]
Your love [G]has grown [Em]weary
of [Am]keeping her [D]kisses
And learning a [Em]song that will never [Am]be sung.
[D]This mor[G]ning your
[Em]Molly has [Am]mar ried another[D],
[G]A pennil[C]ess man with
[Am]a heart that [D]is [G]young.
[D]Oh, [C]the youth [G]of the hea[Em]rt,
[Am]an d the dew in the mo[D]rning,
You wake [G]and they've [Am]left
you without [G]any [D]warn[G]ing.
[D]So, all[G] you young lovers[Em] all
[Am]ready to [D]marry,
Remember [G]my [Em]story and [Am]mind [A]what I say.
[D]For [G]I was a w[Em]ise man,
[G]and[Am] now I am [D]sorry.
The [G]wisdom of [C]winter is [Em]medi[Am]cine.[D]
[G]Oh,[Bm] the [Am]yout[D]h of the h[G]eart[Em]
and the [Am]dew in the m[D]orning,
You [G]wake and they've [Am]left you.
To them [G]without [G]any [Am]warn[D]ing.[G]
