[Introduction]
D A E A
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
A-rovin' on a winter's night
E7 D A
And a-drinkin' good old wine,
A D A F#m
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl,
F#m A E7 A
Thats broke this heart of mine.
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
She is just like a butter rose,
E7 D A
That bloomed in the month of June.
A D A F#m
Or like some musical instrument,
F#m A E7 A
That's just been lately tuned.

[Verse 3]
A E7 A
Perhaps it's a trip to a foreign land,
E7 D A
A trip to France or Spain,
A D A F#m
But if I should go ten thousand miles,
F#m A E7 A
I'm a-comin' back again.
[Verse 4]
A E7 A
And it's who's a-gonna shoe your poor little feet,
E7 D A
Honey who's a-gonna glove your little hands?
A D A F#m
Who's a-gonna kiss your sweet sweetlips,
F#m A E7 A
Tell me, who's a-gonna be your man?
[Verse 5]
A E7 A
I'll love you till the sea runs dry,
A E7 D A
And the rocks all melt in the sun.
A D A F#m
I love you till the day I die,
F#m A E7 A
Though you will never be my own.
[Verse 6]
A E7 A
A-rovin' on a winter's night
E7 D A
And a-drinkin' good old wine,
A D A F#m
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl,
F#m A E7 A
That broke this heart of mine.
