[Verse]
            F           Cm
As I walked out one morning
                  Eb     Cm  Bb
In the springtime of the year..
  Cm  Eb      F      Bb
I overheard a sailor boy
    Eb       Bb Cm    F  Cm
Likewise a lady fair

[Verse]
            F      Cm
They sang a song together
                 Eb     Cm  Bb
Made the valleys for to ring..
          Cm           Eb            F       Bb
While the birds on the spray, in the meadows gay
   Eb            Bb   Cm      F  Cm
Proclaimed the lovely spring

[Verse]

Said Willy unto Nancy
                  Eb    Cm  Bb
"Oh, we soon must sail away...
         Cm     Eb     F Bb
For it's lovely on the water
   Eb       Bb    Cm    F  Cm
To hear the music play"

"For our Queen she do want seamen
              Eb        Cm  Bb
So I will not stay all ashore..
       Cm        Eb          F   Bb
I will brave the wars for my country
          Eb         Bb      Cm    F  Cm
Where the blundering cannons roar"

[Verse]
           F            Cm
Poor Nancy fell and fainted
            Eb          Cm Bb
But soon he brought her to...
         Cm         Eb         F       Bb
For it's there they kissed and there embraced
    Eb       Bb  Cm
And took a fond adieu

For we may meet once more..
            Cm   Eb             F         Bb
But there's one above that will guard you love
          Eb         Bb      Cm    F  Cm
Where the blundering cannons roar"

"For pounds it is our bounty
              Eb     Cm  Bb
And that must do for thee..
       Cm       Eb   F Bb
But to help the aged parents
      Eb    Bb    Cm    F  Cm  F  Cm
While I am on the sea"

For Tower Hill is crowded
              Eb      Cm  Bb
With mother's weeping sore..
          Cm       Eb               Bb
For their sons are gone to face the war
          Ab                 Cm   Eb  F  Cm  Bb
Where the blundering cannons roar
