One Morning in May James Taylor
One Morning in May James Taylor (Public Domain, arr. James Taylor ) One morning, one morning, one morning in May [ A G D A ] I spied a young couple, they were making their way [ A G D E ] One was a maiden, so bright and so fair [ A F#m D A ] and the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer [ A D E A ] "Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning," said he [ A G D A ] "And where are you going, My pretty lady?" [ A G D E ] "I'm going out a-walking on the banks of the sea [ A F#m D A ] Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ] Now they had not been standing but a minute or two [ A G D A ] When out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew [ A G D E ] And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring [ A F#m D A ] "O hark," cried the maiden, "hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ] "O maiden, fair maiden, it's time to give o'er." [ A G D A ] "O no, kind soldier, please play one tune more [ A G D E ] For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string [ A F#m D A ] Than to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ] "O soldier, kind soldier, will you marry me?" [ A G D A ] "O no, pretty maiden, that never shall be; [ A G D E ] I've a wife now in London and children twice three [ A F#m D A ] Two wives and the army's too many for me." [ A D E A ] "Well, I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year [ A G D A ] It's often that I'll think of you, my little dear [ A G D E ] And if ever I return, it will be in the spring [ A F#m D A ] Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing [ A D E A ] To see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing."
