When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
The candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear
Gm Bb C D
I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain
Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm
She rose up to let me in, then barred the door again
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
I like well your behavior and this I often say
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
I cannot rest contented when I am far away
Gm Bb C D
The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about
Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
A-hugging one another, so why not you and I?
Gm Bb C D
A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt
Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue
Gm Bb C D
The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about
Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm
They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me
Gm Dm Gm Bb Dm Gm
Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee
Gm Bb C D
When my three years are over, my time it will be out
Gm Dm Gm Bb D Gm
And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
