It was pleasant and delightful on a midsummer's morn
                                           F          G
When the green fields and the meadows were covered in corn
        C                                   F           G
And the blackbirds and the thrushes sang on every green tree
        C                     F          C          G   C
And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day
        F                 G
And the larks they sang melodious
        C                 G
And the larks they sang melodious
        C                     F          C          G   C     G C
And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day

Now a sailor and his true love went a-walking one day
                                        F          G
Said the sailor to his true love, “I am bound far away
     C                                   F            G
I am bound for the East Indies where the loud cannons roar
       C                F                 C          G C
I must go and leave you Nancy, you're the one that I adore

                                           F         G
For the topsails, they are hoisted and the anchor's aweigh
        C                                F           G
And the big ship she is a-waiting for to sail on the tide
       C        F                  C        G  C
And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride
       F        G
And if ever I return again
       C        G
And if ever I return again
       C        F                  C        G  C        G C
And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride”

         C         F                    C            G   C
Saying, “May I go along with you?”, “Oh no, me love, farewell”
