Come all ye lads of high renown
G D G C
And would hear of a fair young maiden
G D
And she rode out of a summer's day
G D G
For to view the soldiers parading
C Em D
They marched so bold and they looked so ga-ay
C G
The colours flying and the bands did play
C G C G
And it caused young Mary for to say
D G
"I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"
C G D
And she viewed the soldiers on parade
G D G
And as they stood at their leisure
C G D
And Mary to herself did say
G D G
"At last I've found my treasure
C Em D
But oh, how cruel my parents must be-e
C G
To banish my darling so far from me
C G C G
But I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
D G
You wild, undaunted soldier"
C G D
"Oh, Mary dear, your parents love
G D G
I pray don't be unruly
C G D
For when you're in a foreign land
G D G
Believe me, you'll rue it surely
C Em D
And if in battle I might fall_
C G
By a shot from an angry cannonball
C G C G
And you so far from your daddy's hall
D G
Be advised by your gallant soldier"
C G D
"And I have fifty guineas in bright gold
G D G C
Likewise, a heart that's bolder
G D
And I'll leave them all and I'll go with you
G D G
You wild, undaunted soldier
C Em D
So don't say no, but let me go-o
C G
And I will face the daring foe
C G C G
And we'll march together, to and fro
D G C G
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"
C G D
And when he saw her loyalty
G D G
And Mary so true hearted
C G D
He said, "Then darling, married we'll be
G D G
And nothing but death will part us
C Em D
And when we're in a foreign land_
C G
I'll guard you darling, with my right hand
C G C G
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
D G C G
To Mary and her gallant soldier
C G D
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
G D Em C G
To Mary and her gallant so-ol-dier"
