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. 

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.
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??
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.
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
