Many young men of twenty said goodbye

All that long day

From break of dawn until the sun was high
G C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
II

My boy Jimmy went that day
F G
And the big ship sailed away
C
Sailed away and left me here to die
G C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
I
C
I met my love upon the mountain rim
C
The day he left
C G C
I knew I bore a living child of him
G C
I knew I bore a living child of him
II
C
And the child was born to me
F G
Jimmy's gone a-cross the sea
C
Jimmy's gone and here alone am I
G C
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
I

My Jimmy said he'd sail across the sea

He swore his oath
C G C
He'd sai-l back one day and marry me
G C
He'd sail back one day and marry me

But my Jimmy let me down
F G
Now they mock me in the town

Oh my Jimmy please come back to me
G C
Oh my Jimmy please come back to me

They let the mountains and the glens
F G
The lassies and the fine young men

I saw the tears of every girl and boy

Many young men of twenty said goodbye
