Dm-Am-Dm
It (Dm)was
on a fine (C)summer's (Bb)morning
The (Dm)birds’
sweetly (C)tune on each (G)bough
And (Dm)as
I walked (C)out for my (Bb)pleasure
I (Dm)saw
a maid (Am)milking a (Dm)cow
Her (F)voice
was so en(Am)chanting, me(Bb)lodious
Left (Dm)me
quite un(Am)able to (G)go
My (Dm)heart,
it was (Gm)loaded with (Am)sorrow
For the
(Dm)pretty maid (Am)milking her (Dm)cow
Dm-Am-Dm
Then (Dm)to
her I (C)made my ad(Bb)vances
"Good
(Dm)morrow most (C)beautiful (G)maid
Your (Dm)beauty
my (C)heart so en(Bb)trances"
"Pray
(Dm)sir do not (Am)banter," she (Dm)said
"I'm (F)not
such a (Am)rare precious (Bb)jewel
That (Dm)I
should en(Am)amour you (G)so
I (Dm)am
but a (Gm)poor little (Am)milk girl,"
Says the
(Dm)pretty maid (Am)milking her (Dm)cow
Dm-Am-Dm
The (Dm)Indies
a(C)fford no such (Bb)jewel
So (Dm)bright,
so trans(C)parently (G)clear
I (Dm)do
not add (C)things to my (Bb)funeral
Con(Dm)sent
but to (Am)know me my (Dm)dear
Oh, (F)had
I the (Am)Lamp of A(Bb)laddin
Or the
(Dm)wealth that gold (Am)mines can be(G)stow
I'd (Dm)rather
be (BGm)poor in a (Am)cottage
With the (Dm)pretty girl (Am)milking her (Dm)cow
Dm-Am-Dm
