[Verse 1]
    C                        F    
One day as I was walking all o'er 
              G
yon fields of moss
    C                              
I had no thoughts of enlisting till
      F               G
 some soldiers did me cross
     C                        
They kindly did invite me to a 
 F                G
flowing ball and down,
       C              F      G   
They advanced, they advanced    
       C        F                 
me some money, a shilling from the 
C
crown.

[Verse 2]
    C                           
My true love he is listed and he 
 F             G
wears a white cockade
   C                            F 
He is a handsome young man, 
            G
likewise a roving blade
        C                       
He is a handsome young man, he's 
 F                 G
gone to serve the King

       C          F      G       
Oh my very, oh my very       
     C          F               C
heart is aching all for the love of 
him

[Verse 3]
   C                           
My true love he is handsome and 
 F             G
comely for to see
    C                     F       
And by a sad misfortune a soldier 
       G
now is he
  C                             
I wish the man that's listed him 
       F                 G
might prosper night nor day
      C                F         
And I wish that, and I wish that,
G          C             F      
    the Hollanders might sink 
         C
him in the sea

[Verse 4]
     C                             
Then he took out his hankerchief to
 F               G
 wipe my flowing eye
      C                         F 
Leave off your lamentations 
                 G
likewise your mournful sighs
      C                        
Leave off your grief and sorrow 
       F                G
until I march o'er yon plain
         C                 F       
We'll be married, we'll be married 
G           C               F   
     in the springtime when I 
     C
return again


[Verse 5]
   C                               
My true love he is handsome and 
  F                G
it's all for him I'll rove
     C                           
I'll write his name on every tree 
      F               G
that grows in yonder grove
   C                               
My poor heart it does hallow, how 
  F                  G
my poor heart it does cry
     C             F       G     
To remind me, to remind me      
     C            F             C
of my ploughboy, until the day I die
