Capo 2
I once knew a maiden, Her story is sad
She loved a young sailor, a brave sailor lad
He courted her daily, By night and by day
Till at last the young sailor, He sailed far away
(chorus)
If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing
A long loving story, to him i would bring
Id tell him my sorrows, my grief and my woes
And when I go and find him, Id crown him with gold
