Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - |

[Verse 1]
G
Saving my flowers away for you
            Cadd9
Though It's homeward
                  D/A
I know I should be
G
The Summer has gone
And the birds they have flown
       Cadd9        D/A       Em
On the winds of the migrating seas
       Cadd9        Dadd11    G
On the winds of the migrating seas

[Chorus]
G
The captain he asked me
On a cold winter's eve
      Cadd9                       G
Is it married you're intending to be
Is there love at the door
Awaiting at the shore
       Cadd9      D/A               Em
With a candle and babe on her sleeve
  Cadd9      Dadd11             G
A candle and babe  on her sleeve

[Verse 2]
G
Yes and then no sir
I did reply
           Cadd9
There's no Bonny lass
              G
Waiting for me
If I had but one
I would lay down my folly
    Cadd9        Dadd11           Em7
And not  be gone fishing with thee
    Cadd9        Dadd11           G
And not  be gone fishing with thee

[Chorus]
    G
And two year ago
There came to the show
       Cadd9               G
A fair maiden courtin' for me
We had it won
With the ring and the money
        Cadd9       Dadd11     Em7
But she wallowed in pity for me
           Cadd9   Dadd11      G
She said a mariner boy's never free

| Em7 - | Cadd9 Dadd11 | G - | -     -      |

[Outro]
     G
It's often the day
Sitting up on the waves
       Cadd9                         G
That I wish I could then see her face
And the dark hair entwined
Down her magical spine
         Cadd9    Dadd11         Em7
But I'll always remember her name
         Cadd9    Dadd11         G
And I'll always remember her name
