Judy Collins - So Early, Early In The Spring

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]

So early, early in the spring
G A
I shipped on board to serve my king

I left my dearest dear behind
A
She oft' times swore her heart was mine

[Verse 1]

My love she takes me by the hand
G A
“If ever I marry, you'll be the man"

A thousand vows so long and sweet
A
Saying, "We'll be married when next we meet"

[Verse 2]

And all the time I sailed the seas
G A
I could not find one moment's ease

In thinking of my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear

[Instrumental]
A G A

[Verse 3]

At last we sailed into Glasgow town
G A
I strode the streets both up and down

Inquiring for my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear

[Verse 4]

I went straightway to her father's hall
G A
And loudly for my love did call

“My daughter's married, she's a rich man's wife
A
She’s wed to another, much better for life"

[Verse 5]

If the girl is married that I adore
G A
I'm sure I'll stay on land no more

I'll sail the sea till the day I die
A
I'll break the waves rolling mountains high
