C G C G
This pretty young maid, I seek far and wide
Em Am C D
My heartache each morn, with her I don't meet
C G C G
When I go to the bar, the dance hall or fete
Em D C G
But I'd follow her trail in the dead of the night
[Chorus]
Em Bm D C
Now you're the young man that travels afar
Em Am C D
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
Am G C D G
Never yearn or pine for flocks nor for kine
C D C ~ ~ G C G C D
And I'll conjure a plan that will charm her life

That is my love if she hadn't a dime
