Key: A major

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