As [C] I went a [F] walking one [G] morning in [C] May
I met a young couple who fondly did [G] stray
And [C] One was a young maid so sweet and so [G] fair
And the [C] other was a [F] soldier and a [G] brave grena[C]dier
[C] And they kissed so sweet and [G] comforting as they clung to each [C] other
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and [G] brother
They went [C] arm in arm along the road til they came to a [G] stream
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
Well [C] out of his [F] knapsack he [G] took a fine [C] fiddle
And he played her such a merry tune that you ever did [G] hear
And he [C] played her such a merry tunes that the valley did [G] ring
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
[C] And they kissed so sweet and [G] comforting as they clung to each [C] other
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and [G] brother
They went [C] arm in arm along the road til they came to a [G] stream
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
Well [C] I’m off to [F] India for [G] seven long [C] years
Drinking wines and strong whiskeys instead of cool [G] beers
And if ever I return again it will be in the [G] spring
[C] And we’ll both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
[C] And they kissed so sweet and [G] comforting as theyclung to each [C] other
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and [G] brother
They went [C] arm in arm along the road til they came to a [G] stream
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
Oh [C] soldier, Oh [F] soldier, will [G] you marry [C] me
Oh no said the soldier that can never [G] be
For [C] I’ve a wife of my own in my own [G] country
And [C] she is the sweetest [F] fairest thing that you [G] ever did [C] see
[C] And they kissed so sweet and [G] comforting as they clung to each [C] other
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and [G] brother
They went [C] arm in arm along the road til they came to a [G] stream
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
[C] And they kissed so sweet and [G] comforting as they clung to each [C] other
They went arm and arm along the road like sister and [G] brother
They went [C] arm in arm along the road til they came to a [G] stream
[C] And they both sat down [F] together love to hear the [G] nightingale [C] sing
