[Verse 1]
C F G
One day as I was walking all o'er yon fields of moss
C F G
I had no thoughts of enlisting till some soldiers did me cross
C F G
They kindly did invite me to a flowing ball and down,
C F G C F C
They advanced, they advanced me some money, a shilling from the crown.
[Verse 2]
C F G
My true love he is listed and he wears a white cockade
C F G
He is a handsome young man, likewise a roving blade
C F G
He is a handsome young man, he's gone to serve the King
C F G C F C
Oh my very, oh my very heart is aching all for the love of him
[Verse 3]
C F G
My true love he is handsome and comely for to see
C F G
And by a sad misfortune a soldier now is he
C F G
I wish the man that's listed him might prosper night nor day
C F G C F C
And I wish that, and I wish that, the Hollanders might sink him in the sea
[Verse 4]
C F G
Then he took out his hankerchief to wipe my flowing eye
C F G
Leave off your lamentations likewise your mournful sighs
C F G
Leave off your grief and sorrow until I march o'er yon plain
C F G C F C
We'll be married, we'll be married in the springtime when I return again
[Verse 5]
C F G
My true love he is handsome and it's all for him I'll rove
C F G
I'll write his name on every tree that grows in yonder grove
C F G
My poor heart it does hallow, how my poor heart it does cry
C F G C F C
To remind me, to remind me of my ploughboy, until the day I die
