Verse 1:
   Bb        Eb           Bb       Gm 
As I went a-walking one evening fair 
   Bb         Dm       Eb       Bb 
It being the summer to take the air 
  Gm      Dm           Cm     F 
I spied a maiden and a sailor bold 
      Gm       F 
And I stood to listen 
      Bb         Eb  F      Bb        F         Bb 
And I stood to lis-ten to hear what they might say 

Verse 2:
   Bb         Eb        Bb     Gm 
He said "Fair maid, why do you roam 
   Bb     Dm      Eb  Bb 
By yonder lea and all alone?" 
    Gm       Dm            Cm        F 
She heaved a sigh, and the tears did roll 
        Gm        F 
"For my dark-eyed sailor 
       Bb        Eb  F       Bb        F      Bb 
For my dark-eyed sai-lor, he plows the stormy sea 

Verse 3:
     Bb         Eb             Bb        Gm 
'Tis seven long years since he left this land 
   Bb          Dm           Eb         Bb 
A ring he took off from his lily-white hand 
    Gm          Dm      Cm              F 
One half of the ring is still here with me 
        Gm       F 
But the other is rolling 
        Bb       Eb  F           Bb     F      Bb 
But the other is rol-ling at the bottom of the sea" 
Verse 4:
   Bb         Eb             Bb       Gm 
He said "Fair maid, you must dry your eyes 
     Bb          Dm           Eb     Bb 
Some other young man you will surely find 
    Gm         Dm        Cm         F 
For love turns aside and soon grows cold 
       Gm       F 
Like a winter's morning 
       Bb       Eb  F              Bb         F       Bb 
Like a winter's mor-ning, when the fields are clad in snow" 

Verse 5:
    Bb         Eb       Bb      Gm 
She said "I'll never forsake my dear 
   Bb                Dm          Eb     Bb 
Al-though we've been parted this many a year 
  Gm       Dm        Cm        F 
Gentle was he, not a rake like you 
      Gm       F 
Who'd induce a maiden 
      Bb       Eb  F      Bb         F      Bb 
Who'd induce a mai-den to slight the jacket blue" 
 
Verse 6:
    Bb          Eb             Bb      Gm 
One half of the ring did young William show 
   Bb       Dm         Eb        Bb 
She ran dis-tracted in grief and woe 
       Gm           Dm              Cm      F 
Saying "William, oh William, I have gold in store 
       Gm        F 
For my dark-eyed sailor 
       Bb        Eb  F       Bb       F    Bb 
For my dark-eyed sai-lor, he has come home again"
