Alex Campbell - Pleasant and delightful

It was pleasant and delightful on a ^Gmidsummer's ^Cmorn When the green fields and the meadows were ^Fcovered in ^Gcorn And the ^Cblackbirds and the thrushes sang on ^Fevery green ^Gtree And the ^Clarks they sang melodi^Fous at the ^Cdawning of ^Gthe ^Cday And the ^Flarks they sang me^Glodious And the ^Clarks they sang me^Glodious And the ^Clarks they sang melodi^Fous at the ^Cdawning of ^Gthe ^Cday ^{G C}

Now a sailor and his true love went a-^Gwalking one ^Cday Said the sailor to his true love, “I am ^Fbound far a^Gway I am ^Cbound for the East Indies where the ^Floud cannons ^Groar I must ^Cgo and leave you ^FNancy, you're the ^Cone that I ^Gad^Core I must ^Fgo and leave you ^GNancy I must ^Cgo and leave you ^GNancy I must ^Cgo and leave you ^FNancy, you're the ^Cone that I ^Gad^Core" ^{G C}

Said the sailor to his true love, "Well, I ^Gmust be on my ^Cway For the topsails, they are hoisted and the ^Fanchor's a^Gweigh And the ^Cbig ship she is a-waiting for to ^Fsail on the ^Gtide And if ^Cever I re^Fturn again, I will ^Cmake you ^Gmy ^Cbride And if ^Fever I re^Gturn again And if ^Cever I re^Gturn again And if ^Cever I re^Fturn again, I will ^Cmake you ^Gmy ^Cbride” ^{G C}

Then the ring from off her finger she ^Ginstantly ^Cdrew Saying, “Take this, dear William, and my ^Fheart will go ^Gtoo” And as ^Cthey were embracing, tears ^Ffrom her eyes ^Gfell Saying, “^CMay I go a^Flong with you?”, “Oh ^Cno, me love, ^Gfare^Cwell” Saying, “^FMay I go a^Glong with you?” Saying, “^CMay I go a^Glong with you?” Saying, “^CMay I go a^Flong with you?”, “Oh ^Cno, me love, ^Gfare^Cwell” ^{G C}
