Csus2
So early,
Bb

I shipped on board to serve my king.
Bb
C
I left my dearest dear behind,
C
Bb
C
Csus2
be mine.
Bb
C
If ever I marry, you'll be the man.
Ten thousand vows,
Bb
C
all alone and sweet,
C
Bb
C
Csus2
time we meet.
Bb
C
Enquirin' for my dearest dear,
C
Bb

did I hear.
Csus2
C
So I went straightway
to her father's hall,
Bb
C
And loudly at the door did call,
My daughter's married,
Bb
C
she's a rich man's wife
She's wed to another,
Bb
C
Bb
C
Csus2
much better for life
Bb
C
I know I'll stay on land no more
Bb
C
I'll sail the seas till the day I die,
C
Bb
C
mountains high.
Csus2
C
But I curse your gold, your silver too,
Bb
I curse your daughter who wouldn't be true,
C
Bb
C
Who all her former vows did break,
And went to another for
Bb
C
Bb
C
riches' sake.

So early, early in the spring,
Bb

I shipped on board to serve my King.
Bb
C
I left my dearest dear behind.
