               Dm/         Dm/        E/           Am/           
1. Early one morning one morning in spring
               Dm/              G/         C/            E/           
    to hear the birds whistle, the nightingales sing.
          Am/            G/        Am/       Em/          
    I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing,
               Am/           Dm/          E/           Am/ Am/

     Dm/            Dm/        E/      Am/      
2. How old are you, my fair young maid,
         Dm/       G/             C/        E/        
    here in this valley, this valley so green ?
      Am/         G/     Am/          Em/    
    How old are you, my fair young maid ?
          Am/           Dm/          E/           Am/ Am/ 
   # I'm going to be sixteen next Monday morning.
 
        Dm/           Dm/             E/           Am/  
3. Well, sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry,
         Dm/        G/               C/          E/     
    so take my advice, five years longer to tarry.
       Am/              G/           Am/       Em/  
    For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin,
         Am/         Dm/          E/           Am/  Am/ 
    so put off your wedding for Monday morning.
 
          Dm/          Dm/        E/           Am/      
# 4. You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill,
       Dm/              G/         C/            E/   
    two years I've been waiting against my own will.
          Am/         G/           Am/       Em/   
    And now I'm determined to have my own way,
          Am/           Dm/            E/         Am/  Am/   
    and I'm going to be married next Monday morning.
   
     Dm/         Dm/         E/                Am/  
5. And next Monday morning the bells they will ring,
  Dm/            G/        C/        E/ 
   my true love will buy me a gay gold ring.
      Am/         G/      Am/       Em/       
    Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
             Am/           Dm/          E/       Am/  Am/     
    to wear at my wedding next Monday morning.

6. Next Monday night when I go to my bed,
          Dm/       G/      C/             E/   
    and I turn round to the man that I've wed,
      Am/         G/         Am/        Em/      
    around his middle my two arms I will fling,
             Am/         Dm/        E/           Am/  Am/     
    and I wish to my soul it was Monday morning.
