As I Roved Out

    Am              G
And who are you, me pretty fair maid
    Am              G
And who are you, me honey?
    Am              G
And who are you, me pretty fair maid
    Am              G
And who are you, me honey?
    Am                G
She answered me quite modestly:
  G
I am me mother's darling.

(Chorus)
        Am
With me too-ry-ay
G
Fol-de-diddle-day
G
Di-re fol-de-diddle
Am
Dai-rie oh.

     Am                 G
And will you come to me mother's 
house,
         Am             G
When the sun is shining clearly ( 
repeat )
     Am                     G
I'll open the door and I'll let you 
in
    G
And divil 'o one would hear us.
(Chorus)

     Am                       G
So I went to her house in the middle
 of the night
         Am               G
When the moon was shining clearly ( 
repeat )
    Am                      G
She opened the door and she let me 
in
    G
And divil the one did hear us.
(Chorus)


    Am                   G
She took me horse by the bridle and 
the bit
        Am             G
And she led him to the stable ( 
repeat )
                Am                 
Saying "There's plenty of oats for 
  G
a soldier's horse,
   G
To eat it if he's able."
(Chorus)


         Am             G
Then she took me by the lily-white 
hand
        Am            G
And she led me to the table ( repeat
 )
                Am                 
Saying: There's plenty of wine for 
  G
a soldier boy,
   G
To drink it if you're able.
(Chorus)


     Am           G
Then I got up and made the bed
      Am               G
And I made it nice and aisy ( repeat
 )
     Am           G
Then I got up and laid her down
        G
Saying: Lassie, are you able?
(Chorus)


    Am                    G
And there we lay till the break of 
day
    Am              G
And divil a one did hear us ( repeat
 )
     Am              G
Then I arose and put on me clothes
        G
Saying: Lassie, I must leave you.
(Chorus)


    Am            G
And when will you return again
    Am               G
And when will we get married ( 
repeat )
     Am                 G
When broken shells make Christmas 
bells
G
We might well get married.
(Chorus)
