When GmI was appDmrenticed in GmLondon, I Bbwent to sDmee my dGmear
The cGmandles aDmll were burGmning, the Bbmoon shone brDmight and cleGmar
I knGmocked upon her Bbwindow to Cease her out of her pDain
She rGmose Dmup to lGmet me in, then bBbarred the dDoor aGmgain
I Gmlike well yDmour beGmhavior and tBbhis I oDmften sGmay
I cGmannot Dmrest contGmented when BbI am fDmar awGmay
The roGmads they are so mBbuddy, we cCannot walk abDout
So rGmoll me Dmin your aGmrms, Love, and blBbow the cDandles Gmout
Your fGmather Dmand your mGmother in yBbonder rDmoom do lGmie
A-hGmugging oDmne anGmother, so wBbhy not Dmyou and GmI?
A-hGmugging one anBbother, withCout a fear or dDoubt
So rGmoll me Dmin your Gmarms, Love, and blBbow the cDandles Gmout
I prGmay thee spDmeak more sGmoftly of wBbhat we hDmave to Gmdo
Lest tGmhat our Dmnoise of taGmlking should mBbake our plDmeasure Gmrue                  
The strGmeets they are so Bbnigh, Love, the pCeople walk abDout
They mGmay peep Dmin and sGmpy, Love, so bBblow the cDandles Gmout
And Gmif we prDmove succGmessful, Love, please nBbame it Dmafter Gmme
TrGmeat it nDmeat and kiGmss it sweet and dBbaft it Dmon your kGmnee
When Gmmy three years are Bbover, my tCime it will be oDut
And GmI will Dmpay my dGmebt to you by bBblowing the cDandles Gmout.

Chords in this song · guitar

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

The candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear

Gm Bb C D

I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain

Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm

She rose up to let me in, then barred the door again

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

I like well your behavior and this I often say

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

I cannot rest contented when I am far away

Gm Bb C D

The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about

Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm

So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

A-hugging one another, so why not you and I?

Gm Bb C D

A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt

Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm

So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue

Gm Bb C D

The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about

Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm

They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me

Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm

Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee

Gm Bb C D

When my three years are over, my time it will be out

Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm

And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
