Verse 1
Em 
D 
Oh, as I rode out one morning fair
Em 
Over lofty hill, o 'er land and mountain
D 
It was there I met with the fine young girl
Em 
While I with others was hunting
D 
No shoes nor stockings did she wear
Em 
Neither had she hat nor had she feather
D 
But her golden curls I and ringlets rev,
Em 
An  d the gentle breeze
D 
Em 
played round her shoulders.
I said, fellacy, why,
D 
Romulan, why,
Em 
Romulan, among the heathen?
D 
She said, my father's away from home,
Em 
D 
G 
Em 
And I'm herding off his ewes together.
I sent for
D 
Lassie, if you'll be mine,
Em 
And if you lie on a bed of feldarms,
D 
In silks and satins it's you will shine,
Em 
And you'll be my queen among the ever.
D 
She said, kind sir, your offer is good,
Em 
But I'm afraid it's meant for laughter,
D 
Or I know you are some rich squire's son,
Em 
D 
And I'm a poor lame
Em 
shepherd's daughter.
D 
Ah, but had he been some shepherd lad,
Em 
Or heard a news among the heathen,
Or had he been some
D 
ploughman's son,
Em 
D 
Em 
It's with all my heart I would
have loved you.
Now I've been to
D 
Balls, and I've been to
Em 
Halls, I've been to
London, and
Bath we'd all,
But the bonniest lassie in
the temple I did see
D 
Em 
She was harding off her use together
D 
So we both sat down upon the plain
Em 
We sat a while and we talked together
D 
And we left the ewes for to stray their lane
Em 
D 
Em 
Till I   won my queen among the heather.
