[Verse 1]
A lady stood in the garden
             C               G
When a gentleman came riding by
He stepped up to her, tried to woo 
her
                D           G
And said, "Fair maid, fancy I"

[Verse 2]
"Oh, kind sir, I am a servant
          C                  G
A servant girl, all froo and free
Never to part and never to marry
            D              G
For my true love is far at sea"

[Verse 3]
"It's seven long years, since I 
lived true love

      C                      G
Seven years since he left to sea
And seven more, I'll wait upon him
          D                      G
For if he lives, he'll return to me"

[Verse 4]
"If he's alive, I wish to see him
        C                G
If he's dead, I wish him rest
Even if he's wed, I hope he's happy
               D                   
For he was the man I loved him the 
G
best"

[Verse 5]
He pulled his hand out of his pocket
            C                  
His fragile hands were thin and 
 G
small
Showed her the ring they broke 
between them
             D                 G
And when she saw, down she did fall

[Verse 6]
He stooped down to her, his love he 
lifted
            C               G
And then he gave her kisses three
"I'm your true love, your missing 
soldier
              D             G
And I've come home to marry thee"

[Verse 7]
And so this pair, they did get 
married
                C            
And lived happy there, I true 
   G
believe

Lived out his life and loved his 
wife
            D                   G
And bid farewell to the rolling sea
