Verse 1

      A      E7     A
While rovin’ on one winter’s night
    E7         D    A
And a-drinkin’ good old wine

Thinkin’ about that dear little girl

That broke this heart of mine

For she is like some budded rose
               E7  D     A
That blooms in the month of June

She’s like some music instrument
       F#m  A    E7     A
That’s just been enably tuned

Perhaps a trip to a foreign land

    A    D      A        F#m
But if I go ten thousand miles
    F#m      A    E7   A
I’m a-comin’ back again

Verse 4

    A                       E7   A
And who’s a-gonna shoe your poor little foot
Who will glove your hands
Who will kiss your red ruby lips
And who will be your man

Papas gonna shoe my poor little foot
And mama will glove my hand
You can kiss my red ruby lips
And you can be my man

Verse 6

  A             E7      A
I love you till the sea runs dry
    A         E7  D    A
And the rocks all melt in the sun

I love you till the day I die
       F#m A    E7    A
Though you will never be my own

And drinkin’ good old wine

Thinkin’ about that dear little girl
     F#m   A    E7    A
That broke this heart of mine
