As I Roved Out

[Bm]As I roved out on a May morning, on a May morning right early

I [D]met me love [A]upon the way, Oh [Bm]Lord, but [A]she was [Bm]early

And she sang [D]lilt-a-doodle lilt-a-doodle lilt-a-doodle-dee

And [A]she hi-da-land-da-dee and [D]she hi-da-land-da-dee and [Bm]she land-dae

Her boots were black and her stockings white and her buckles shone like silver
She had a dark and a rolling eye and her ear-rings tipped her shoulder

“What age are you, my bonnie wee lass? What age are you my honey?”
Modestly she answered me “I’ll be seventeen on Sunday”

“Where do you live, me bonnie wee lass? Where do you live me honey?”
“At a wee house up at the top of the hill, and I live there with me mammy”

“If I went to the house on the top of the hill when the moon was shining clearly
Would you arise and let me in and your mammy not to hear ye?”

I went to the house at the top of the hill when the moon was shining clearly
She arose to let me in, for her mammy chanced to hear her

She caught her by the hair of the head and down to the room she brought her
With the root of a hazel twig, she was the well-beat daughter

“Will you marry me now, me soldier lad? Will you marry me now or never?
Will you marry me now, me soldier lad, for you see I’m done forever?”

“I can’t marry you, my bonnie wee lass, I can’t marry you, my honey
For I have got a wife at home and how could I disown her?”

A pint at night is my delight and a gallon in the morning
The old women are my heartbreak, but the young one is me darling

THE MOONSHINER

Chorus:

Well [G]I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler. I’m a [C]long ways from [Am]home

And [D7]if you don’t like me well leave me [G]alone

I’ll eat when I’m hungry and I’ll [C]drink when I’m [Am]dry

And the [D7]moonshine don’t kill me I’ll live till I [G]die

Well I’ve been a moonshiner for many’s a year
I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I’ll go to some hollow and I’ll set up my still
And I’ll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill(chorus)

I’ll go to some hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree
No women to follow, the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshine(chorus)

Oh moonshine, dear moonshine, oh how I love thee
You killed me old father, but dare you try me
Oh bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine(chorus)
