He courted me when I was thin
F

He courted me and my love did win
C 
But now that my bib is up to my chin
G

He passes my door and won't come in
I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
F 
G 
I wish I was a maid again
F 
C 
A maid again I  never shall be
G

Till apples grow under an ivy tree
There is a blackbird on yonder tree,
F

But never a girl as blind as me,
G 
C 
When that I fell into bad company.
