Verse 1
(D major) As I walked out one evening,
t 'was on (G major) a night's (A major) career,
(D major) I met a pretty fire ship,
and to (G major) wards her I (A major) did steer.
(G major) I heisted up my (D major) signal,
which she did quickly view,
And when she saw my bunting up,
she (A major) im mediately hoved to.
She had (D major) a dark and roving eye,
and her (G major) hair hung down in (A major) ringlets.
A (D major) nice girl, a decent girl,
(G major) but (A major) one of (D major) the rakish kind.
Excuse me, sir, said she to me,
for (A major) being out so late.
If (D major) my parents knew of this,
oh, (G major) sad would (A major) be my fate.
My (E minor) (A major) daddy is a (D major) minister,
(G major) a good and (D major) righteous man
My (G major) mother is a (D major) Methodist,
(A major) I do the best I can (C major)
(G major) She had (D major) a dark and roving eye,
and her (G major) hair hung down in (A major) ringlets
A (D major) nice (G major) girl, a (D major) de cent girl,
(G major) but (D major) one of the rakish kind
I took her to a tavern,
I (A major) treated her with wine,
A little (D major) did I think
that she (G major) was of the (A major) rakish kind.
I (G major) handled her, (D major) I dandled (A major) her,
much to my sur (D major) prise,
Turned out she was a pirate ship
rigged up (A major) in this disguise.
She had a (D major) dark and a roving eye,
And her (G major) hair hung (E minor) down in (A major) ringlets.
She (D major) was a nice (G major) girl, a (D major) decent (G major) girl,
But (D major) one of the rakish kind.
Listen, all you sailor men
That (A major) sail upon the (D major) sea,
Beware of them, they're fire -ships,
One was the (A major) ruin of me.
Be (C major) ware of them,
(D major) steer clear of them,
they'll be the death of you.
T 'was (G major) there I had my (D major) mizzen sprung,
and my (E major) strong box broken (A major) through. (G major)
(A major) She had a (D major) dark and roving eye,
and her (A major) hair hung down in ringlets.
A (D major) nice girl, a decent (G major) girl,
but (D major) one of the rakish kind.
