Dm- E- Am
Dm E Am
1. Early one mornin? one mornin? in spring
Dm G C E
to hear the birds whistle, the nightingales sing.
Am G Am Em
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing,
Am Dm E Am
I?m going to be married next Monday morning.
Dm E Am
2. ?How old are you, my fair young maid,
Dm G C E
here in this valley, this valley so green ?
Am G Am Em
How old are you, my fair young maid ??
Am Dm E Am
?I?m goin? to be sixteen next Monday morning.?
Dm E Am
3. ?Well, sixteen years old, that?s too young for to marry,
Dm G C E
so take my advice, five years longer to tarry.
Am G Am Em
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin,
Am Dm E Am
so put off your wedding for Monday morning.?
Dm E Am
4. ?You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill,
Dm G C E
two years I?ve been waiting against my own will.
Am G Am Em
And now I?m determined to have my own way,
Am Dm E Am
and I?m going to be married next Monday morning.?
Dm E Am
5. ?And next Monday mornin? the bells they will ring,
Dm G C E
my true love will buy me a gay gold ring.
Am G Am Em
Also he?ll buy me a new pretty gown
Am Dm E Am
to wear at my wedding next Monday morning.?
Dm E Am
6. ?Next Monday night when I go to my bed,
Dm G C E
and I turn round to the man that I?ve wed,
Am G Am Em
around his middle my two arms I will fling,
Am Dm E Am
and I wish to my soul it was Monday morning.?
