[1] When I was in my sixteenth [b7] year [1] Little Willie [5] said to [1] me If I would run away with [b7] him His [1] darling [5] wife I could [1] be
We were so far away from home When little Willie said to me Go home go home dear dear little girl My wife you can never be
My mother was so kind to me And I know she loved me too You took me far away from home Why must you leave me here
It's nature nature my dear little girl It's nature for to be My mind is to ramble around And I bid this wide world adieu
