[Intro] [Fuzzy guitar riffs] As I walked out one midsummer morning, The weather being both fine and clear, Yonder stands a young man, Who he is I do not know, [Fuzzy guitar riffs] [Pre-Chorus] But he said to me: [Chorus] 'Pretty little maid, I've come to court you, If your favour I do gain And you make me hearty welcome, I will call this way again.' [Instrumental break] [Verse] 'Sit you down, you're heart'ly welcome, Sit you down and chat a while, Sit you down, you're heart'ly welcome, Suppose you do not call again?' [Fuzzy guitar riffs] [Pre-Chorus] And so he said to me: [Chrorus] 'Pretty little maid, I've gold and riches, Pretty little maid, I've houses and lands, Pretty little maid, I've worldly treasures. And all will be at your command.' [Instrumental break] [Bridge] 'What do I care for your worldly treasures? What do I care for your houses and lands? What do I care for your gold and riches? All that I want is a nice young man.' [Instrumental interlude - fuzzy guitar solo] [Verse] 'Why does he dive so deep in beauty? Love's a flower will soon decay, It's like the rose that blooms in summer When winter comes, it fades away.' [Chorus] 'My love wears the tarry trousers, My love wears the jacket blue, My love ploughs the deep blue ocean, So, young man, be off with you.' [Outro - slow fade out] 'My love wears the tarry trousers, My love wears the jacket blue, My love ploughs the deep blue ocean, So, young man, be off with you.'
