Come all you lads of high renown (4/4 + 6/4 Measure)

"At last I found my treasure.
G Em C Em Em D
But oh how cruel my parents must be-e
Em C C Em D7
To banish my darlin so far from me.

Me bold undaunted soldier"

G C C D7
"Oh Mary dear, your parents' love,
G D7 G
I pray don't be unruly
G C C D7
For when you're in a foreign land,
G D7 G
Believe me you'll rue it surely
G Em C Em Em D
Perhaps in battle I might fa-all
Em C C Em D7
A shot from an angry cann-on ball
C D C D7
And you so far from your Daddy's hall
G D7 G
Be advised by a gallant soldier."
