One Morning In May
(Public Domain, arr. James Taylor )

One morning, one morning, one morning in May  A G D A 
I spied a young couple, they were making their way  A G D E 
One was a maiden, so bright and so fair  A F#m D A 
and the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer  A D E A 

"Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning," said he  A G D A 
"And where are you going, My pretty lady?"  A G D E 
"I'm going out a-walking on the banks of the sea  A F#m D A 
Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing."  A D E A 

Now they had not been standing but a minute or two  A G D A 
When out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew  A G D E 
And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring  A F#m D A 
"O hark," cried the maiden, "hear the Nightingale sing."  A D E A 

"O maiden, fair maiden, it's time to give o'er."  A G D A 
"O no, kind soldier, please play one tune more  A G D E 
For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string  A F#m D A 
Than to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing."  A D E A 

"O soldier, kind soldier, will you marry me?"  A G D A 
"O no, pretty maiden, that never shall be;  A G D E 
I've a wife now in London and children twice three  A F#m D A 
Two wives and the army's too many for me."  A D E A 

"Well, I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year  A G D A 
It's often that I'll think of you, my little dear  A G D E 
And if ever I return, it will be in the spring  A F#m D A 
Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing  A D E A 
To see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing."  A D E A
