[Verse]
      A                         D 
Lay still my fond shepherd and 
             E                 D   
don't you rise yet, it's a fine 
E             A              E7 
dewy morning and besides, my 
    A
love, it is wet
    A                         D   
Oh let it be wet my love and ever 
    E                    D     E 
so cold, I will rise my fond 
        A     E7  A
Floro and away to my fold
    A                      D   
Oh no, my bright Floro, it is no 
         E                   
such thing, it's a bright sun 
   D   E              A          
a-shining and the lark is on the 
E7  A
wing

[Verse]
        A                       D 
Oh The Lark In The Morning she 
             E                     
rises from her nest and she mounts 
 D   E            A     E7    A
in the air with the dew on her 
breast
     A                             
And like the pretty ploughboy 
    D          E              
she'll whistle and sing, and at 
             D  E          A   
night she will return to her 
E7    A
own nest again

[Verse]
           A                       
When the ploughboy is done all he's
  D          E                    
 got for to do, he trips down to 
D    E                A          
the meadow where the grass is all
 E7  A
 cut down
        A                       D 
Oh The Lark In The Morning she 
             E                     
rises from her nest and she mounts 
 D   E            A     E7    A
in the air with the dew on her 
breast
     A                             
And like the pretty ploughboy

she'll whistle and sing, and at 
             D  E          A   
night she will return to her 
E7    A
own nest again
