Verse 1
(G major) It was early, early, all in the spring
When my love (F major) Willie went to serve (G major) his king
The night being (F major) dark and the
wind blew (G major) high
Which parted me from my sailor
boy (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) So father, (G major) (C major) father, build (G major) me a (C major) boat
For (G major) on the (F major) ocean I (C major) mean to (G major) float
To watch the (F major) big ships as (C major) they pass (G major) by
For I might in (C major) quire for (G major) my
sailor (C major) boy (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
She had (G major) not (C major) sailed away a (G major) week or (C major) two
When she (G major) spied a cap (F major) tain
and (C major) all his (G major) crew
Oh, Captain, (F major) Captain, come (C major) tell me (G major) true
Does my love, (C major) Willie,
sail on (G major) board with (C major) you?
What (G major) was the (C major) color of your (G major) Willie's (C major) hair?
What (G major) was the color (F major) does your (C major) Willie wear? (G major)
I like the jacket (F major) and these (C major) trousers white (G major)
And his curly (C major) hair was my (G major) heart's de (C major) light (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) Oh, (G major) fair maid, (C major) fair maid, he (G major) is not (C major) here
For he's (F major) lost or drowned, I (C major) am all feared
(G major) For on yon green (F major) island, as (C major) we passed (G major) by
T 'was there we (C major) lost our
(G major) fine sailor (C major) boy (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) She wrung (G major) her hand and she tore her hair
Just like a lady in deep despair
She called for a paper, roof, pen and ink
And on every line, (C major) (G major) she dusted a tear
And with (C major) every word, she cries, (G major)
weary (C major) dear (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) So, (G major) (C major) Father, go (G major) dig my (C major) grave
Go dig it (F major) deep and go (C major) dig it (G major) wide
Place a marble stone (F major) at my (C major) head on (G major) feet
That the world may (C major) know that (G major) I died in (C major) grief
(G major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
La da (C major) da da (G major) di da dee
