6 7 -8    8-8   7         
My truly, truly fair.  

-6 -5  -6 -5   7
Truly, truly fair.  

 7 -6  6   -6   6   -46
How I love my truly fair.

  6       4  -4   5    6   
There's songs to sing her, 

 -5 7    -7  -6    6
trinkets to bring her,

 -7  7   -8 -8   8 -8   7
Flowers for her golden hair.

verse 1
 6    5    4   5  6 6    6      
Some men plow the open plains, 

 -6   6   -6  -7    77
some men sail the brine,

 6   7   7   8    8  8  -6 -6 -6-6    
But I'm in love with a pretty little 

  7   7   6  -8   7  -7  7
maid-for work I have no time.

--chorus

verse 2
Once I sailed from Boston Bay, bound for Singapore
But one day out in the mist or so, 
I swam back to shore.

--chorus

I love she and she loves me, pardon if I boast.
At times we fight all the live long night 
'bout who loves who the most.

--chorus

Soon I'm gonna marry her, love her til I die.
There ain no lvin' on love along, 
but still I'm gonna try

--chorus
