1 (Oh well, who) wouldn't be a sailor lad a 'Sailin' on the main
G A7 D A7
To gain _ the good will of his captain's good name
D G D A7
He came a-shore one evening for to be
D D7 G Em A7 D
And that was the be-gin-ning of my ould true love and me
Chorus
D A7 D 4xclap D D7
And it's home, boys home, home I'd like to be,
G D Bm A7
Home for a while in my own coun-tery

Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
D D7 G Em A7 D
Are all a-growing green in the north countery .
D D G D
2 Well I asked her for a candle for to light me up to bed
G A7 D A7
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head

So then I says to her: 'Now won't you leap in with me too?'

3 Well she jumped into bed and making no a-larm
G A7 D A7

And into Mary's apron-threw a hand_ful of gold

He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee
