Key: G# minor
Verse 1
All in the town of Rye
He had one only daughter
On her I cast my eye
He had one only daughter
So beautiful and fair
There is no one in this wide,
wide world
With her I could compare
I asked her would
she marry me
while I'd cross o 'er the main,
Or would she just prove single
until I would return again?
B
Em
She said she would prove single
if I would prove in kind,
So we kissed, hands, and parted,
and I left my love behind.
One beautiful Saturday evening
I rode to Georgia Square.
I overtook the postman
and the mail car met me there.
B
Em
I then received a letter

which gave me to understand

that the girl I left in Old Ireland

got wed to another man.

And on reading this letter over,

Hard labour I'll give over,
How did you like the song?
