One Morning In May chords by Jean Ritchie
Verse 1
C
G
One morning, one morning,
D
G
one morning in May,
D
G
I spot a fair couple inquiring their way.
They stood and concluded
C
G
to go by the spring,
C
G
C
To see the waters gliding,
D
G
hear the nightingale sing.
He hugged her, and he kissed her,
D
G
and he caught her round the middle,
And out of his knapsack
D
G
he drew a fine fiddle,
And he played her a tune
C
G
of the voluntary.
C
G
C
Oh, see the waters are gliding,
D
G
hear the nightingales sing,
Pretty soldier, pretty soldier,
D
won't you marry me?
G
D
G
Oh, no pretty lady that never can be
For I've got a wife at home
C
G
and children of three
C
G
C
And the prettiest little baby
D
G
that you ever did see
I'll go to Kentucky and stay
D
G
there for a year
Instead of cold water,
D
G
my drink shall be beer
C
And when I come back it'll be in the spring
G
C
G
C
And I'll play that tune
D
over and over again
G
C
G
C
To see the waters a -gliding,
D
G
hear the nightingales sing
