[Verse 1]
AmAs I roved out on a May morning
AmOn a May morning right early
I sCpied my love Gupon the way
Oh, Lord but she was eAmarly.
AmHer boots were black, her stockings white
AmAnd her buckles shone like silver
She hCad a dark and a roGving eye
And her ear-rings touched her shoAmulder.
[Chorus]
And she sang
C
lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee,
And she hGigh-di-lan-di-dee,
and she high-di-lan-di-dee and
Amshe lan-ded x2
Amshe lan-ded
[Verse 2]
Am“How old are you my bonny, wee girl?
AmHow old are you my Darling?
How oCld are you my bonny, wGee girl?"
“I’ll be seventeen on SuAmnday.”
AmI went to her house on the top of the hill
AmWhen the moon was shining clearly.
She arCose to let me Gin
But her mother chanced to hear Amme.
[Chorus]
And she sang
C
lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee,
And she hGigh-di-lan-di-dee,
and she high-di-lan-di-dee and
Amshe lan-ded x2
Amshe lan-ded
[Verse 3]
AmShe grabbed her by the hair of her head
AmAnd out of the room she brought her,
And wCith the root of a haGzel branch
She was a well-beat dauAmghter.
Am“Will you marry me now my soldier boy
AmWill you marry me now or never?
Will you maCrry me now my solGdier boy
Can you see I’m done foAmrever.”
Am“Well I won’t marry you my bonny wee girl,
AmI won’t marry you my Darling.
For CI have got a wGife at home
And how could I disoAmwn her?”
[Chorus]
And she sang
C
lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee,
And she hGigh-di-lan-di-dee,
and she high-di-lan-di-dee and
Amshe lan-ded x2
[Verse]
AmA pint at night is my delight
AmAnd a gallon in the morning.
The old woCmen are Gmy heart break
But the young ones are my daAmrlings.
AmAs I roved out on a May morning
AmOn a May morning right early
I sCpied my love upGon the way
Oh, Lord but she was eAmarly.
[Chorus]
And she sang
C
lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee,
And she hGigh-di-lan-di-dee,
and she high-di-lan-di-dee and
Amshe lan-ded x3
Amshe lan-ded
