Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Violin solo

 as i roved out one summer night

 to view the flowers and breathe the air

'twas there i spied a tender maiden

talkin' to her daughter so dear

 sayin' daughter oh daughter married you'll be

no longer to live the sweet single life

mother oh mother i'd rather be

some young sailor's wife

 well sailor boy likes to wander round

he will be your downfall

you're better to wed a farmer boy

for to see he never will go

her mother came back from the fields

only to find her daughter so dear

hanging from her blanket of blue

in the lonely hour of night

Organ solo

 as i roved out one summer night

 to view the flowers and breathe the air

'twas there i spied a tender maiden

talkin' to her daughter so dear
