[VERSE]
As [E]I was a-walking one [A]morning in [B]June
To [A]view the gay [E]fields and the [F#m]meadows in bloom
I [B]spied a young [A]female, she ap[B]peared like some [E]queen
With her [A]costly fine [E]robes round her [B]mantle of [E]green

[VERSE]
He said, "Lovely fair maid, if [A]you will a[B]gree
Then [A]we'll join in [E]wedlock and [F#m]married we'll be
I'll [B]dress you in [A]riches, you'll ap[B]pear like some [E]queen
With your [A]costly fine [E]robes round your [B]mantle of [E]green”

[VERSE]
She quickly made answer, "May [A]you be ex[B]cused
For [A]I'll wed with [E]no man, you [F#m]must be refused
To the [B]greenwoods I'll [A]wander and [B]shun all men [E]too
For the [A]lad that I [E]love fell at [B]famed Water[E]loo”

"If [E]you will not marry, tell [A]me your love's [B]name
For [A]I've been a [E]soldier, and [F#m]might know the same”
"Draw [B]near to my [A]garment and [B]soon you will [E]see
His [A]name I've em[E]broidered on my [B]mantle of [E]green”

[VERSE]
Enrising of her mantle, it's [A]there I be[B]hold
His [A]name and his [E]surname in [F#m]letters of gold
Young [B]William O'[A]Reilly it ap[B]peared to my [E]view
I cried, "[A]He was my [E]comrade at [B]famed Water[E]loo”

Now [E]when that she heard it, the [A]paler she [B]grew

Here [A]is your love's [E]token, the gold [B]ring I do [E]wear”
