As I Roved Out

verse 1 Am As I roved out on a May morning Am On a May morning right early C G I spied my love upon the way Am Oh, Lord but she was early. Am Her boots were black, her stockings white Am And her buckles shone like silver C G She had a dark and a roving eye Am And her ear-rings touched her shoulder. [Refrão]And she sang C lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee, G And she high-di-lan-di-dee, and she high-di-lan-di-dee and Am she lan-ded x2 Am she lan-ded verse 2 Am “How old are you my bonny, wee girl? Am How old are you my Darling? C G How old are you my bonny, wee girl?" Am “I’ll be seventeen on Sunday.” Am I went to her house on the top of the hill Am When the moon was shining clearly. C G She arose to let me in Am But her mother chanced to hear me. [Refrão]And she sang C lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee, G And she high-di-lan-di-dee, and she high-di-lan-di-dee and Am she lan-ded x2 Am she lan-ded verse 3 Am She grabbed her by the hair of her head Am And out of the room she brought her, C G And with the root of a hazel branch Am She was a well-beat daughter. Am “Will you marry me now my soldier boy Am Will you marry me now or never? C G Will you marry me now my soldier boy Am Can you see I’m done forever.” Am “Well I won’t marry you my bonny wee girl, Am I won’t marry you my Darling. C G For I have got a wife at home Am And how could I disown her?” [Refrão]And she sang C lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee, G And she high-di-lan-di-dee, and she high-di-lan-di-dee and Am she lan-ded x2 Verse Am A pint at night is my delight Am And a gallon in the morning. C G The old women are my heart break Am But the young ones are my darlings. Am As I roved out on a May morning Am On a May morning right early C G I spied my love upon the way Am Oh, Lord but she was early. [Refrão]And she sang C lith-a-doo-a, lith-a-doo-a lith-a-doo-a-dee, G And she high-di-lan-di-dee, and she high-di-lan-di-dee and Am she lan-ded x3 Am she lan-ded
