This is the englich text of the "swedish" folksong "jag hade had en gång en

båt" (I ones had a boat), written

and preformed by Cornelis Vreeswijk.

It has the same melody as the country song "I want to Go Home", written and

preformed by Johnny Cash.

This is my first tab hope you like it.

it's a good song for beginners to play with a simple melody.

I ones had a boat

It sailed over the sea

But that was some time ago, some time ago

[Chorus]

I'm just wondering... Where is it now?

He kissed his mother goodbye
