It was on one summer evening 
       D  Dsus2  D              A  Asus2  A 
It was on         an evening so clear 
            D  Dsus2  D              A  Asus2  A 
You sailed across      that lonesome ocean 
         E                   A 
Yes, you sailed, you left me here

My life is like       some stormy cloud bank 
          D  Dsus2  D                  A  Asus2  A 
Where the sun        don't never shine through 
              D  Dsus2  D                 A  Asus2  A 
My eyes ain't been dry,  been dry for one minute 
            E                        A  Asus2  A 
Since those warships sailed off with you 



      A  Asus2  A          A  Asus2  A 
How I miss you,  oh, how I miss you 
      D  Dsus2  D              A  Asus2  A 
How I wish       that you were here

Down where my minglewood lies sleeping 
              D               A 
Down where my rippling waters glide 
            D             A 
I fall down by my bud and roses 
            E                      A  Asus2  A 
Pray you'll come, take me for your bride 



      A               A  Asus2  A 
How I miss you, how I miss you 
      D  Dsus2  D              A 
How I wish       that you were here 
          D  Dsus2  D         A  Asus2  A 
I am your old        forsaken lover 
       E                A  Asus2  A 
And my heart is sad and drear
