[Verse 1]AmCDsus2Am
As I was out walking, one evening in June
AmCDsus2Am
To view the fair fields, and the meadows in bloom;
AmCDsus2Am
I spied a pretty fair maid, she appeared like a queen
AmCDsus2Am
In her costly fine robes and her mantle so green
[Verse 2]AmCDsus2Am
When I stepped up to her she turned in surprise
AmCDsus2Am
And she did not know me though I wore no disguise
AmCDsus2Am
Her eyes shone like diamonds her cheeks like the rose
AmCDsus2Am
She is one of thе fairest that nature composed
[Verse 3]AmCDsus2Am
I said now my fair maid, if you comе with me
AmCDsus2Am
We may both join in wedlock, and married we'll be;
AmCDsus2Am
I will dress you in rich attire, you'll appear like a queen
AmCDsus2Am
In your costly fine robes and your mantle so green
[Verse 4]AmCDsus2Am
She say, now my young man, I must be excused
AmCDsus2Am
For I'll wed with no man, you must be refused;
AmCDsus2Am
To the green woods I will wander to shun all men's view
AmCDsus2Am
For the boy I love dearly fell in famed Waterloo
[Verse 5]AmCDsus2Am
And since you can not marry me, will you tell me your love's name
AmCDsus2Am
As I fought in that battle, I might know the same
AmCDsus2Am
Draw near to my garment, for there can be seen
AmCDsus2Am
His name is embroidered on my mantle so green
[Verse 6]AmCDsus2Am
At the raising of her garment, there I did behold
AmCDsus2Am
His name and his surname, in letters of gold
AmCDsusAm
Young Willie O'Riley, appeared to my view
AmCDsus2Am
And he was my chief comrade in the famed Waterloo
[Verse 7]AmCDsus2Am
We fought there together where the bullets did fly
AmCDsus2Am
On the field of battle your true love does lie
AmCDsus2Am
We fought for three days till the fourth afternoon
AmCDsus2Am
He received his death summons on the eighteenth of June
[Verse 8]AmCDsus2Am
And as he lay dying, these words he did say
AmCDsus2Am
"If you were here lovely Nancy how contented I'd die"
AmCDsus2Am
When she heard this sad tale, then her tears they did flow
AmCDsus2Am
She fell into my arms with a heart full of woe
[Verse 9]AmCDsus2Am
Oh Nancy, lovely Nancy, it was I won your heart
AmCDsus2Am
In your father's garden, the day we did part
AmCDsus2Am
In your father's garden, the truth I declare
AmCDsus2Am
Here is our love token, this gold ring I wear
[Verse 10]AmCDsus2Am
And if you'll still have me, one word to me say
AmCDsus2Am
And we'll feast with great nobles on our wedding day
AmCDsus2Am
For peace is proclaimed love, the war it is won
AmCDsus2Am
You're welcome to my arms, lovely Nancy once more
