INTRO
D G D A7 D

VERSE
D G
As I came thro' Sandgate,
D A7
Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate,
D G
As I came thro' Sandgate,
D A7 D
I heard a lassie sing:

CHORUS
D G
"O, weel may the keel row,
D A7
The keel row, the keel row,
D G
O weel may the keel row
D A7 D
That my laddie's in."

VERSE
D G
"O wha's like my Johnnie,
D A7
Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonnie?
D G
He's foremost 'mang the mony
D A7 D
Keel lads o' coaly Tyne;

CHORUS
D G
He'll set or row sae tightly
D A7
Or, in the dance sae sprightly,
D G
He'll cut and shuffle slightly,
D A7 D
'Tis true, were he nae mine.

VERSE
D G
He wears a blue bonnet,
D A7
Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
D G
He wears a blue bonnet
D A7 D
A dimple in his chin.

CHORUS
D G
And weel may the keel row,
D A7
The keel row, the keel row,
D G
And weel may the keel row
D A7 D
That my laddie's in."
