from that fair inland stream
She was courted by William,
Eb

he belongs to the sea
She was courted by William
Eb

a long time ago
A
D
Now he's on the sea sailing,
where the stormy winds do blow
Eb
D
and they make my heart ache
They make my room window
E
D
for to shiver and shake.
God knows where my love lies,
Eb
D
so far from the shore.
I will pray for his welfare,
tell me what can I do more.
When the sailors are sailing
they drink a health to their wives
For they love their own sweethearts
Eb
D
as they love their own lives
Here's a punch going round me boys,
Eb
D
here's a full glass in hand
Here's a health to loving Nancy
Eb
D
That I leave upon dry land
Oh, it's Nancy, my jewel
My joy and heart's delight
Here is one lovely letter
Eb
E
D
I am going for to write
Here is one lovely letter
E
D
to let you well know
That I'm on the sea sailing
Eb
D
where the stormy winds do blow
