Verse 1
Oh, (G major) the first time I saw my (G minor) love,
happy was (F major) I.
(G minor) I (G major) knew not what love
(G minor) was (A minor) or (G major) how to deny.
(G minor) So (G major) I made too much (G minor) freedom
of (G major) my love's company.
(F major) Say (F minor) ing, (G major) my gener (G minor) ous lov (G major) er,
you're welcome to me.
My friends and relations,
they angry are all, (F major)
(G major) because I went with you
(F major) from (G major) my father's fine (G minor) home.
But my friends, my relations,
(G major) let them all angry (F major) be
For (F minor) my (F major) generous (F minor) lover,
(G minor) you're (G major) welcome (G minor) to me. (G major)
(G minor) He (F sharp major) (G minor) said,
(G major) now my (F minor) darling (G major) it's I must away,
(F major) for (G major) I no longer in this country can stay.
(G minor) So, (G major) keep your (G minor) mind easy,
love, (G major) keep your heart (F major) free
(G major) And let no (F major) man be thy sharer (G major) ,
my darling, (G minor) but me (G major)
(G minor) This poor (G major) pretty creature,
she turned herself (F major) round
With (G major) her cheeks white as ivory
and tears pouring down
Jimmy, dear (G minor) Jimmy,
(G major) you're the first one who wooed (F major) me
And (G major) I'm (F major) sorry now I (G major) ever said
you're (F sharp major) welcome (G major) to me. (G minor) (G major)
Oh, happy's the girl
that ne 'er loved a (F major) man.
She (G major) may easy tie up (G minor) (F major)
(G major) her narrow waistband,
She (G minor) is free (G major) from all (G major) sorrow,
all sad misery, (F major)
That never (G minor) said, my lov (F major) er,
(G major) you're welcome (G minor) to me.
Generous Lover
