[Intro]
Bm  A  F#m
[Verse]
All Bmthings are quite Esilent, each mortal at Bmrest
When me and my F#mtrue Elove lay F#msnug in one nest
When a Ebold set of Druffians broke Einto our Dcave
And they Bmforced my dear Ejewel to plough the salt BmwaveA  F#m  
[Verse]
I begged Bmhard for my Edarling, as I would for my Bmlife
But they'd not listen F#mto  Eme, alF#mthough a fond wife
Saying, the Eking must have Dsailors, to the Eseas he must Dgo
And they Bmleft me laEmenting in sorrow and BmwoeA  F#m  Bm  A  F#m  
[Verse]
Through Bmgreen fields and Emeadows, we oft times have Bmwalked
And the fond recolF#mlectEions, toF#mgether have talked
Where the Elark and the Dblackbird so Esweetly did Dsing
And the Bmlovely thrushes' Evoices made the valleys to BmringA  F#m  
[Verse]
Now alBmthough I'm forEsaken, I won't be cast Bmdown
Who knows but my F#mtrue Elove, some F#mday may return
And will Emake me aDmends for my Etrouble and Dstrife
And Bmme and my Etrue love might live happy for BmlifeA  F#
