Verse 1
Down the (D major) long road
a (F major) soldier came a (G major) -walkin'
Back from the long wars,
(G minor) no more (C sharp minor) for to roam
(G major) When a woman he (F sharp minor) saw
come walk (G major) ing to (C sharp minor) wards him
(G major) Singing (F sharp minor) to (G major) herself
as she made (F sharp minor) her way home
His hand touched his (G minor) camp
(F sharp minor) as he stepped up to her.
(G major) Are you going as far
as the mill there ahead?
She said that she was,
(F sharp minor) he asked (G major) to walk (C sharp minor) with her.
(G major) So sweetly she smiled.
Indeed (F sharp minor) you may, she said.
For several long years
that smile he'd re (G major) membered.
What is (A major) your name?
(G major) Please tell me, dear.
Mary Johnson's my name.
My man, he's the (C sharp minor) Miller,
and a (G major) father he'll be by
(A major) the (G major) end of the year.
The (C sharp minor) soldier's (G major) face was (E minor) burnt brown
(G major) from the hot sun of Indy.
It saddene (A major) d and (A minor) paled
(G major) when he heard what she said,
for this last one he left
had been his own true (D major) love.
(G major) But now here she was
to his (A major) young (G major) brother Wen.
Your husband, it (E minor) seems,
(G major) he's the man I am seeking.
For (A major) it's news of his brother
(G major) that I've (D major) come to (G major) tell.
He was my (D major) close comrade
(G major) through (D major) many's of the battle.
An (G major) d together we were
on (A minor) the day (G major) that he fell.
His last dying (E minor) words he (G major) said,
go and seek my brother.
(D major) Give him this watch,
this gold (G major) ring also.
Tell him to look after
my own darling Mary.
The girl I'd have married
when the long walls were old.
When she took the gold (F major) ring,
(G major) how deep (G minor) she was sobbing,
she leaned on the dike,
(G major) so pale (G minor) and so worn,
so (G major) much he could tell her
of her undead true (D major) lover.
When she looked (G major) up to ask him,
the soldier had gone.
