I [C] loved a girl one time. [C7]
When my [F] life was in it’s [C] prime
And the summer evening’s
Seemed to have no [G] end [D] [G]
In the [C] garden we would walk [C7]
Where the [F] rose and Holly -[C]- hock
Their loveliness no [G] jewel could tran -[C]- scend. [F] [C]
She [C] was young and she was fair [C7]
Like an [F] angel standing [C] there
And her smile it would light up my darkest [G] day [D] [G]
When she [C] held me to her heart. [C7]
I [F] prayed we’d never [C] part
But the weather turned
And [G] took me far [C] away. [F] [C]
So [F] sleep my lovely sleep
Where the [C] rippling water’s meet
In the valley where the Rowan
And Chestnut [G] grow [D] [G]
In that [C] little cottage there [C7]
Free from [F] worry free from [C] care
Till we meet again no [G] other love ill [C] know [F] [C]
Many [C] Oceans have I crossed [C7]
Slept [F] beneath the southern [C] cross
I have stood upon the mountains of [G] Peru [D] [G]
And of [C] girl’s I’ve known my share [C7]
But there’s [F] none that com -[C]- pare
With the loveliness and [G] beauty that is [C] you [F] [C]
Now [C] the years have come and gone [C7]
And my [F] traveling days are [C] done
And the sun is sinking slowly in the [G] sky [D] [G]
Once a -[C]- gain I’ll take a walk [C7]
By the [F] Rose and Holly -[C]- hawk.
And I’ll live you as I [G] did in day’s gone [C] by. [F] [C]
When my [F] life was in it’s [C] prime
And the summer evening’s
Seemed to have no [G] end [D] [G]
In the [C] garden we would walk [C7]
Where the [F] rose and Holly -[C]- hock
Their loveliness no [G] jewel could tran -[C]- scend. [F] [C]
She [C] was young and she was fair [C7]
Like an [F] angel standing [C] there
And her smile it would light up my darkest [G] day [D] [G]
When she [C] held me to her heart. [C7]
I [F] prayed we’d never [C] part
But the weather turned
And [G] took me far [C] away. [F] [C]
So [F] sleep my lovely sleep
Where the [C] rippling water’s meet
In the valley where the Rowan
And Chestnut [G] grow [D] [G]
In that [C] little cottage there [C7]
Free from [F] worry free from [C] care
Till we meet again no [G] other love ill [C] know [F] [C]
Many [C] Oceans have I crossed [C7]
Slept [F] beneath the southern [C] cross
I have stood upon the mountains of [G] Peru [D] [G]
And of [C] girl’s I’ve known my share [C7]
But there’s [F] none that com -[C]- pare
With the loveliness and [G] beauty that is [C] you [F] [C]
Now [C] the years have come and gone [C7]
And my [F] traveling days are [C] done
And the sun is sinking slowly in the [G] sky [D] [G]
Once a -[C]- gain I’ll take a walk [C7]
By the [F] Rose and Holly -[C]- hawk.
And I’ll live you as I [G] did in day’s gone [C] by. [F] [C]
The Lyrics Without Chords
I loved a girl one time
When my life was in it's prime
And the summer evenings seem to have no end
In the garden we would walk
Where the rose and holly halk
Their loveliness no jewel could transcend
She was young and she was fair
Like an angle standing there
And her smile it could light up my darkest day
When she held me to her heart, I prayed we'd never part
But the weather turned and took me far away.
So sleep, my lovely sleep, where the rippling waters meet
In the valley where the Rowen and chestnut grow
In that little cottage there, free from worry free from care
'Till we meet again, no other love I'll know.
Many oceans have I crossed, slept beneath the southern cross
I have stood upon the mountains of peru.
And of girls I've known my share, but there's none that can compare
With the loveliness and beauty that is you.
Now the years have come and gone, and my travelling days are done.
And the sun is sinking slowly in the sky,
Once again we'll take a walk, by the rose and holly halk
And I'll love you as in days gone by.
So sleep, my lovely sleep, where the rippling waters meet
In the valley where the Rowen and chestnut grow
In that little cottage there, free from worry free from care
'Till we meet again, no other love I'll know.
I loved a girl one time
When my life was in it's prime
And the summer evenings seem to have no end
In the garden we would walk
Where the rose and holly halk
Their loveliness no jewel could transcend
She was young and she was fair
Like an angle standing there
And her smile it could light up my darkest day
When she held me to her heart, I prayed we'd never part
But the weather turned and took me far away.
So sleep, my lovely sleep, where the rippling waters meet
In the valley where the Rowen and chestnut grow
In that little cottage there, free from worry free from care
'Till we meet again, no other love I'll know.
Many oceans have I crossed, slept beneath the southern cross
I have stood upon the mountains of peru.
And of girls I've known my share, but there's none that can compare
With the loveliness and beauty that is you.
Now the years have come and gone, and my travelling days are done.
And the sun is sinking slowly in the sky,
Once again we'll take a walk, by the rose and holly halk
And I'll love you as in days gone by.
So sleep, my lovely sleep, where the rippling waters meet
In the valley where the Rowen and chestnut grow
In that little cottage there, free from worry free from care
'Till we meet again, no other love I'll know.
