Verse 1
(A minor) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (C major) (E major) (A minor)
Arise,
arise, you pretty fair (E major) maid,
And (A minor) take your maybush in,
For (C major) if that is (A minor) gone before
(E major) tomorrow morn,
(A minor) You will say we have brought you none. (E major)
(A minor) All the hedges and the fields
are (D minor) growing so (E major) green,
As (A minor) green as (D minor) grass can (A minor) be,
Our Heavenly Father,
He (E major) watereth them
(A minor) With His (E major) heavenly (A minor) dew so
sweet. (D minor) (A minor)
I have got a little purse in my (E major) pocket
(A minor) It's tied with a silken string
And all that it needs (E major) is a little
of your silver
(A minor) To line it well within
Oh the clock is struck in one
(E major) It's time we were gone
We (A minor) can no longer stay
So please to remember
Our (E major) money, money box
An (A minor) d in (E major) crease it (A minor) while (E major) you may
