So I rise and go,
G
D

my own true love,
A
D
I wish to God I'd gone before you.
G
D
Ah, must I go, he said to her,
G
A
Ah, must I go without my wages,

With ne 'er a penny in my purse,
G
Just like some poor for

Here's fifty guineas in bright gold,
D

G

So arise and go, my own true love

D
G

As round his waist her arms entwined.

to the church they went,
G
And she's made a lord of
D
A
