verse 1: 
      G        C                  D          G 
There was an apprentice, lived in Strawberry Lane 
        C            D                           G 
She was loved by her master and her mistress the same 
  C           D                            G   Em 
Until a young sailor came sailing o'er the sea 
    G            C        D   G 
And that was the start of her misery 


verse 2: 
                         C          D             G 
This young maid being an urfin, she thought it no harm 
       C       D                        G 
For to go into bed for to keep his back warm 
   C                 D                                 G   Em 
He hugged her and he kissed her and he called her his 'Dear' 
           G              C             D         G 
Saying, "I wish that this night were as long as a year" 


verse 3: 
                  C           D       G 
It was early next morning the sailor arose 
    C        D                        G 
And into her apron he put handfuls of gold 
         C             D                                 G    Em 
Saying, "Take this and keep it for the wrong that I have done 
         G                C               D             G 
For this night I may have left you with a daughter or a son" 


verse 4: 
                C           D                 G 
"And if it be a girl child, dandle her on yer knee 
    C          D                          G 
And if it be a male child, call him after me 
    C            D                            G   Em 
And when he is a man, you can dress him up in blue 
          G           C                D             G 
And he'll skip up the rigging like his daddy used to do 


tabchorus
C D G And it's home boys home, and it's home I'd like to be C D G It's home for awhile in my own country C D G Em Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Elm tree G C D G They are all growing green in my own country
