Our Whole World

As I Roved Out

Am                             G
And who are you, my pretty fair maid,
        Am                      G
And who are you, my darling?
       Am                       G
And who are you, my pretty fair maid
        Am                     G
And who are you, my darling?
        Am                          Em
She answered me quite modestly,
                              G
"I am my mother's darling."
              Am            G 
With my too-ry-ay, Fol-diddle-la,
                          Am
Fol-diddle-la-fol-deri oh.

 
Am                                                        G
 And will you come to my house in the middle of the night,
                  Am                    G
 When the moon is shining clearly
                      Am                                  G
 And will you come to my house in the middle of the night,
                  Am                     G
 When the moon is shining clearly
     Am                               G 
 I'll open the door and I'll let you in
                                      Am
 And devil 'o one would hear us.
 

        Am                                   G
So I went to her house in the middle of the night
                 Am                         G
When the moon was shining clearly
        Am                                    G
She opened the door and she let me in
       Am                       G
And devil the one did hear us.
       Am                              G
She took my horse by the bridle and the bit
                                     Am
And she led him to the stable

Am                                                    G
Saying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse,
     Am               G
To eat it if he's able."
                Am                   G   
Then she took me by the lily-white hand,
              Am                 G
And she led me to the table
                          Am                          G
Saying "There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy,
                              Am
To drink it if you're able."
 

Am                         G
Then I got up and made the bed,
          Am                      G
And I made it nice and aisy
 Am                         G
Then I got up and made the bed,
          Am                      G
And I made it nice and aisy
        Am                G
Then I got up and laid her down
                                        Am                   
Saying "Lassie, are you able?"
 

Am                                  G
And there we lay till the break of day
       Am                    G
And devil a one did hear us
Am                                  G
And there we lay till the break of day
       Am                    G
And devil a one did hear us
        Am                     G     
Then I arose and put on me clothes
                                    Am
Saying "Lassie, I must leave you."
 

Am                            G 
And when will you return again
       Am                       G
And when will we get married
Am                            G 
And when will you return again
       Am                       G
And when will we get married
          Am                           G
When broken shells make Christmas bells
                              Am
We might well get married.
