Intro: D 

verse 1 
                                        C 
As I went out walking one fine summer's morning 
    D                              C     D 
The birds in the branches they did gaily sing 
                                      G 
The lads and the lasses together were sporting 
      D                              G    D 
Going down to the factory their work to begin 


verse 2 
                                      C 
I spied a fair damsel far fairer than any 
    D                                  C       D 
Her cheeks like the red rose that none could excel 
                                         G 
Her skin like the lily that grows in yon valley 
         D                   G       D 
She's my own bonnie Annie my factory girl 


verse 3 
                                          C 
I stepped did up to her, just thinking to view her 
       D                        C     D 
But at me she cast a proud look of disdain 
                                              G 
Saying, "Stand off me, young man and do not insult me 
      D                                 G  D 
For although I am poor, sure I think it no shame" 


verse 4 
                                           C 
"It's not to insult you, fair maid I adore thee 
         D                               C     D 
Ah, pray grant me one favour, it's where do ya dwell?" 
                                      G 
"Kind sir forgive me, it's now I must leave you 
      D                          G       D 
For I hear the dumb sound of the factory bell" 


Verse 5 
                                          C 
"Now love is a thing that does rule every nation 
     D                             C     D 
Good morning, kind sir, and I hope ya do well 
                                          G 
My friends and relations would all frown upon it 
  D                       G       D 
Besides I'm a hardworking factory girl"

                                                    C 
Oh, it's true I do love her, but now she won't have me 
    D                            C          D 
For her sake I'll wander through valley and dell 
                                                   G 
And for her sake I'll wander where no one can find me 
     D                      G       D 
I'll die for the sake of my factory girl
