A            G             D                 A
One morning, one morning, one morning in May
A               G              D            E
I spied a young couple, they were making their way
A            F#m            D       A
One was a maiden, so bright and so fair
A                D         E           A
and the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer

A              G              D         A
"Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning," said he
A             G           D           E
"And where are you going, My pretty lady?"
A         F#m            D                      A
"I'm going out a-walking on the banks of the sea
A              D             E              A
Just to see the waters gliding, hear the Nightingale sing."

A             G               D                    A
Now they had not been standing but a minute or two
A               G            D                   E
When out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew
A           F#m             D               A
And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring
A               D              E                    A
"O hark," cried the maiden, "hear the Nightingale sing."

A            G          D             A
"O maiden, fair maiden, it's time to give o'er."
A              G          D                 E
"O no, kind soldier, please play one tune more
A           F#m             D              A
For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string
A           D           E           A 
Than to see the waters gliding, hear the Nightingale sing."

A            G            D    A
"O soldier, kind soldier, will you marry me?"
A            G            D        E
"O no, pretty maiden, that never shall be;
A          F#m          D              A
I've a wife now in London and children twice three
A          D            E      A
Two wives and the army's too many for me."

A           G           D           A
"Well, I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year
A          G          D           E
It's often that I'll think of you, my little dear
A          F#m          D          A
And if ever I return, it will be in the spring
A              D          E            A
Just to see the waters gliding, hear the Nightingale sing."
A             D            E                 A
to see the waters gliding, hear the Nightingale sing."
