Intro E  
Hold out the E, start singing the first line, then go to the  B  
naturally.
The rest is exactly the same.
One morning I rambBled
down Eby the sea shoAre,
and the wind it did whisEtle,
and the waBves they did rEoar.
I heard some fair maBiden
give a terErible crAy,
and it sounded so loEnely,
and it sweBpt up so hEigh.
Said William to MoBlly,
“if yoEu will agreAe
to give your consEent, love,
and mBarry meE.
For my mind is to mBarry
and nEever to paArt.
For the first time I sEaw you,
you wounBded my heart.E”
“Go away from me William
and leave me alone,
‘cause I’m just a poor girl
and a long way from home.
No, I never will marry
nor be no man’s wife.
I’m content to live single
all the days of my life.”
“The shoal in the ocean
will be my death bed,
with the fish in deep water
swimmin’ over my head.”
She cast her fair body
in the water so deep
and she closed her bonny-blue eyes,
forever to sleep.

Intro

E B

Hold out the , start singing the first line, then go to the

naturally.

The rest is exactly the same.

One morning I rambled

E A

down by the sea shore,

and the wind it did whistle,

B E

and the waves they did roar.

I heard some fair maiden

E A

give a terrible cry,

and it sounded so lonely,

B E

and it swept up so high.

Said William to Molly,

E A

“if you will agree

to give your consent, love,

B E

and marry me.

For my mind is to marry

E A

and never to part.

For the first time I saw you,

B E

you wounded my heart.”

“Go away from me William

and leave me alone,

‘cause I’m just a poor girl

and a long way from home.

No, I never will marry

nor be no man’s wife.

I’m content to live single

all the days of my life.”

“The shoal in the ocean

will be my death bed,

with the fish in deep water

swimmin’ over my head.”

She cast her fair body

in the water so deep

and she closed her bonny-blue eyes,

forever to sleep.
