 Intro: Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em C Dm Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
 
 Am                     Em         
 I come to town lookin' for my love
 Am                  Em            
 she's the sweet one Maggie Coulter
 she left the field of her father's farm
 with a kit bag on her shoulder
         C                 Dm         
 we were going to wed in a nearby town
 Am                             
 when November winds came colder
 she ran and cried she thought I'd died
                   Am   Em    Am      
 cause that's what her father told her
 she's sure to be wearing a wedding gown
 was her mother's mums before her
 you'd only have to see her once
 and you'd know why I adored her
 she's got strands of hair like the angel's fair
 and lips like the reddest roses
 but I'll tell you now that I'll cut down
 any man who dares proposses
 
 CHORUS
 
 so I've got to run
 while I've got the sun
 before the ship rolls with the tide
 and we'll sail away
 at the break of day
 never again will she leave my side (REPEAT INTRO)
 
 when she heard the news of my demise
 she was overcome with sorrow
 she donned her gown
 and she knew if she ran
 she could catch that ship tommorrow
 and when the boat went out to sea
 she could throw herself in the water
 for she couldn't swim
 she knew she'd be dead
 by the time that the fishermen caught her
 
 CHORUS
 
 well I reached the shore
 but the ship had sailed
 and with it went my true love
 I swam for miles in the water's wild
 but I couldn't catch my true love
 and I heard a voice like a swallow's song
 as the moon rose up above me
 so I let the tide take me down inside
 to the one who'll always love me
 
 CHORUS
