The Nightingale
THE NIGHTINGALE
C G7 C As I was a walking and a rambling on day, G7 I spied a young couple so fondly did stray. C G7 And one was a young maide, so sweet and so fair, C F G7 C And the other one was a soldier and a brave Grenadier.
CHORUS:
C F G7 C And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other. C G7 They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother. C G7 They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream, C F G7 C and they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing.
C G7 C Then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle. C G7 And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com C G7 And he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring. C F G7 C 'Oh',softly cried the fair maide,'hear the Nightingale sing.'

C G7 C 'Oh',then said the fair maide,'won't you merry me?' G7 'Oh no', said the soldier, 'however could that be?' C G7 'For I've me own wife at home in the old country,' C F G7 C 'And she is the fairest little thing that you ever did see.' Cho.
C G7 C 'Now I'm off to India for several long years,' C G7 'Drinkin' Wine and strong whiskey instead of pale beer.' C G7 'But if ever I return again, it will be in the spring,' C F G7 C 'And we'll both sit down together,Love, to hear the Nightingale sing.'
