So Early Early In The Spring

A

So early, early in the spring
             G                 A
I shipped on board to serve my king
I left my dearest dear behind
A
She oft' times swore her heart was mine

My love she takes me by the hand
           G                    A
“If ever I marry, you'll be the man"
A thousand vows so long and sweet
A
Saying, "We'll be married when next we meet"

And all the time I sailed the seas
            G                 A
I could not find one moment's ease
In thinking of my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear

A     G  A

At last we sailed into Glasgow town
             G                   A
I strode the streets both up and down
Inquiring for my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear

I went straightway to her father's hall
           G               A
And loudly for my love did call
“My daughter's married, she's a rich man's wife
A
She’s wed to another, much better for life"

If the girl is married that I adore
              G               A
I'm sure I'll stay on land no more
I'll sail the sea till the day I die
A
I'll break the waves rolling mountains high
