[Verse 1]
G
 Saving my flowers away for you
G
Though it's homeward
                D
I know I should be
    G
The Summer has gone
G
And the birds they have flown
       C            D         Em
On the winds of the migrating seas
       C            D         G
On the winds of the migrating seas

G
The captain he asked me
G
On a cold winter's eve
G
Is it married you're intending to be
G
Is there love at the door
G
A'waiting at the shore
       C          D           Em
With a candle and babe on her sleeve
  C          D           G
A candle and babe on her sleeve

[Verse 3]
G
Yes and then no sir
G
I did reply
G
There's no Bonny lass
G
Waiting for me
G
If I had but one
G
I would lay down my folly
    C           D            Em
And not be gone fishing with thee
    C           D            G
And not be gone fishing with thee
 
 
[Verse 4]
G
Two year ago
G
There came to the show
G
A fair maiden courtin' for me
G
We had it won
G
With the ring and the money
        C           D        Em
But she wallowed in pity for me
           C                   G
She said a mariner boy's never free

[Verse 5]
G
It's often the day
G
Sitting up on the waves
G
That I wish I could then see her face
G
The dark hair entwined
G
Down her magical spine
         C        D          Em
But I'll always remember her name
          G
Yes, I'll always remember her name
