CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G    C   G  D   G    C   G
[Verse 1]
As Willie and Mary met by the seaCside
A long fareGwell for to Dtake
Said GMary to Willie, "If you go aCway
I'm afraid my poor G/Bheart, it might Gbreak"
"Oh, Cdon't be aDfraid, dearest Mary," he Emsaid
As he Amclasped his fond Gmaid to his D7side
"In my Cabsence don't Gmourn, for when I reCturn
I will make you, sweet G/BMary, my Gbride"
[Verse 2]
Seven long years had passed and no word at Clast
Mary stood by her Gown cottage Ddoor
A beggar came Gby with a patch on his Ceye
Bedraggled and G/Bragged and Gtore
"Your Ccharity, fair Dmaid, bestow upon Emme
Your Amfortune I'll Gtell you beD7side
Your Clad that you Gmourn will never reCturn
To make little G/BMary his Gbride"
[Verse 3]
She slipped and she started, saying, "All that I Chave
It's Gfreely to you I will Dgive
If you tell me Gtrue what I now ask of Cyou
Is my Willie G/Bdead or aGlive?"
"He's Cliving," said Dhe, "though in sad poverEmty
And Amshipwrecked he Ghas been beD7side
When he'd Cmoney untold and Gpockets of Cgold
He'd have made little G/BMary his Gbride"
[Verse 4]
"Then if he is dead, no other I'll Cwed
No Gother I'll have by my Dside
For in Griches though rolled or covered with Cgold
He'd have made his own G/BMary his Gbride"
Then the Cpatch off his Deye the old beggar let Emfly
His Amold coat and Gcrutches beD7side
And in Csailor's blue clothes and with Gcheeks like the Crose
It was Willie who G/Bstood by her Gside
[Verse 5]
"Oh, Cdon't be aDfraid, dearest Mary," he Emsaid
"It was Amonly your Gfaith that I D7tried
To the Cchurch we'll aGway by the break of the Cday
And I'll make little G/BMary my Cbride"
