[Verse 1]
D A D A
This pretty young maid, I seek far and wide
F#m Bm D E
My heartache each morn, with her I don't meet
D A D A
When I go to the bar, the dance hall or fete
F#m E D A
But I'd follow her trail in the dead of the night
[Chorus]
F#m C#m E D
Now you're the young man that travels afar
F#m Bm D E
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
Bm A D E A
Never yearn or pine for flocks nor for kine
D E D ~ ~ A D A D E
And I'll conjure a plan that will charm her life
[Verse 2]
D A D A
Have her youthful and fair, with no worry or care
F#m Bm D E
Patient and wise in affairs of all kind

Modest and mild, without too much pride

That is my love if she hadn't a dime
[Chorus]

Now you're the young man that travels afar

Find me a gem I can have as my wife

Never yearn or pine for flocks nor for kine

And I'll conjure a plan that will charm her life
