Many Young Men Of Twenty
C |
Many young men of twenty said goodbye |
All that long day
| G | C |
From break of dawn until the | sun was | high |
G | C |
Many young men of twenty said good | bye |
C |
My boy Jimmy went that day |
F | G |
And the big ship | sailed away |
| C |
Sailed away and left me here to | die |
G | C |
Many young men of twenty said good | bye |
| C |
I | met my love upon the mountain rim |
The day he leftI knew
| G | C |
I bore a living | child of | him |
| G | C |
I | knew I bore a living child of | him |
C |
And the child was born to me |
F | G |
Jimmy's gone a | cross the sea |
| C |
Jimmy's gone and here alone am | I |
G | C |
Many young men of twenty said good | bye |
| C |
My | Jimmy said he'd sail across the sea |
He swore his oath
| G | C |
He'd sail back one day and | marry | me |
| G | C |
He'd | sail back one day and marry | me |
C |
But my Jimmy let me down |
F | G |
Now they mock me | in the town |
| C |
Oh my Jimmy please come back to | me |
G | C |
Oh my Jimmy please come back to | me |
C |
Many young men of twenty said goodbye |
All that long day
| G | C |
From break of dawn until the | sun was | high |
G | C |
Many young men of twenty said good | bye |
| C |
They | left the mountains and the glens |
F | G |
The lassies and the | fine young men |
| C |
I saw the tears of every girl and | boy |
G | C |
Many young men of twenty said good | bye |
