The Nightingale
Traditional
As D I was a G walking one A7 morning in D May,
I D met a young couple who fondly did A7 stray,
And D one was a young maid so sweet and so A7 fair,
And the D other was a G soldier and A7 brave grena D dier.
[Chorus]
And they D kissed so sweet and G comforting,as they A7 clung to each D other,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road G like D sister and A7 brother,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road, G till they D came to a A7 streem,
And they D both sat down to G gether love to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
From D out of his G knapsack he took A7 out a fine D fiddle,
And he D played her such merry tunes that you ever did A7 hear,
And he D played her such merry tunes that the valley did A7 ring,
And they D both sat down G together love to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
[Chorus]
And they D kissed so sweet and G comforting,as they A7 clung to each D other,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road G like D sister and A7 brother,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road, G till they D came to a A7 streem,
And they D both sat down to G gether love to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
Oh D soldier,oh G soldier will A7 you marry D me,
Oh D no said the soldier that never can A7 be,
For I D have my own wife at home in my own counte A7 ree,
And she D is the sweetest G little thing that you A7 ever did D see
[Chorus]
And they D kissed so sweet and G comforting,as they A7 clung to each D other,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road G like D sister and A7 brother,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road, G till they D came to a A7 streem,
And they D both sat down to G gether love to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
Now I'm D off down to G India for A7 seven long D years
Drinking D wines and strong whiskeys instead of strong A7 beers,
And if I D return again it'll be in the A7 spring
And we'll D both sit down G together to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
[Chorus]
And they D kissed so sweet and G comforting,as they A7 clung to each D other,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road G like D sister and A7 brother,
They went D arm in G arm a D long the road, G till they D came to a A7 streem,
And they D both sat down to G gether love to hear the A7 nightingale D sing.
