The Wee Lass On The Brae

C   G Am7  G  C  G Am7  G

[Verse 1]
     G                C           
Once I roved out on a fine 
  G
summer's day
The fields were in blossom, and the
C             G
 meadows were gay
  D                           G   
I spied a wee lassie tripping o'er
     D
 the green
  G            C           G
I took her for Helen, that Grecian 
queen
     D                   C
That Grecian queen, that Grecian 
queen
  G                        C      
I took her for Helen, that Grecian
   D G  Am7 G D  C D G
 queen


[Verse 2]
        G                  C      
She's admired by others, I know 
         G
them right well
Every morning to view that sweet 
C              G
spot where she dwells
  D                         G     
Beneath the hawthorn at the brink 
       D
on yon hill
    G                    C        
May she never marry, but think on 
   G
me still
    D                      C
Oh, think on me still, oh, think on 
me still

May she never marry, but think on

me still


[Verse 3]
   G                        C     
My parents died on me, 'tis all 
        G
for their sake
                           C   
And oft times it causes my poor 
          G
heart to break
        D                         
But the more I think on them, the 
G           D
more I will say
        G                          
There's no one will be mine, but 
  C               G
the wee lass on the brae
    D                     C
Wee lass on the brae, wee lass on 
the brae
        G                          
There's no one will be mine, but 
      C
the wee lass on the brae

[Verse 4]
       G                  C       
Oh and faith, there's a decline 
               G
over yon far-off sky
'Tis off to my darling, like 
C              G
lightning I'll fly
       D                       G  
If the night were as long as a 
           D
long summer's day
    G                          C  
I'd cheerfully sit with my wee 
         G
lass on the brae
    D                     C
Wee lass on the brae, wee lass on 
the brae
    G                          C  
I'd cheerfully sit with my wee 
           D G  Am7 G D
lass on the brae


[Verse 5]
   G                          C   
So fare thee well, darling, I love
         G
 you the best
                         C         
And may you be happy and may you be
 G
 blessed
    D                        G    
And may you think on me when I'm 
   D
far away
            G                      
For there's no one will be mine, 
          C           G
but the wee lass on the brae
    D                     C
Wee lass on the brae, wee lass on 
the brae
        G                          
There's no one will be mine, but 
      C
the wee lass on the brae
