              C                G
Pretty little miss out in the garden
                              C
Strange young man came riding by
             C           G
Down at the gate he did address her
                     G                    C
Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me

         C              G
Oh no my love is on the ocean
                       C
Seven years out on the sea
          C           G
And if he sails seven years longer
G                   C
No man on earth can marry me


             C               G
Perhaps your loved one he is drownded
                            C
Perhaps he's in some battle land
           C               G
Perhaps he stole some girl and married
G                    C
You'll never see you love again

             C                G
If he is drownded I hope he's happy
                   C
Or if he's in some battle land
         C               G
Or if he stole some girl and married
     G                  C
I'll love the girl that married him

             C                G
He pulled his hands out of of his pocket
                           C
His fingers being keen and small
          C              G
This is a ring he placed upon her
G                    C
Down by his feet she did fall

              C             G
He picked her up in arms so tender
                             C
Kisses he gave her one, two, three
             C             G
This is your little single soldier
G                 C
Returning home to marry thee
