       Am             G                  Am          Em
    I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing,

     Dm              G               C              E
    here in this valley, this valley so green ?

    How old are you, my fair young maid ?”

         Dm             G              C                    E
    so take my advice, five years longer to tarry.
           Am                       G                Am           Em

    two years I’ve been waiting against my own will.
            Am            G                Am                 Em
    And now I’m determined to have my own way,
           Am                    Dm                  E              Am
    and I’m going to be married next Monday morning.”
 


              Dm                                   E                   Am

   Dm                       G             C           E
   my true love will buy me a gay gold ring.
    Am            G            Am           Em
    Also he’ll buy me a new pretty gown
          Am            Dm                   E              Am
    to wear at my wedding next Monday morning.”
 
      Dm                                  E               Am

         Dm       G                   C                  E
    and I turn round to the man that I’ve wed,
       Am            G             Am                  Em
    around his middle my two arms I will fling,
             Am             Dm               E              Am
    and I wish to my soul it was Monday morning.”
