EARLY IN THE SPRING, SO EARLY IN THE SPRING
TRADITIONAL
4 4 -4 -5 -5 -4 4 -4 4
It being early in - the spring
-5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -4 -6 6
I went on board to - serve my king
-5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -5 -6
Leaving my dearest - dear behind
4 -4 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 -4 4
She oftimes swore her - heart was mine
As I lay smiling in her arms
I thought I held ten thousand charms
With embraces kind and a kiss so sweet
Saying We'll be married when next we meet
As I was sailing on the sea
I took a kind opportunity
Of writing letters to my dear
But scarce one word from her did hear
As I was walking up London Street
I shoved a letter from under my feet
Straight lines being wrote without any blot
Saying seldom seen is soon forgot
I went up to her father's hall
And for my dearest dear did call
She's married, sir, she's better for life
For she has become a rich man's wife
If the girl is married, whom I adore
I'm sure I'll stay on land no more.
