D | A | D |
When I was single, I | wore a black | shawl |

Now that I am married, I've done | nothing at all. |
(Chorus)
G | D | G | D |
Still I | love him. | I'll for | give him. |
G | D | A | D |
I'll go | with him wher | ever he | goes. |
He stands at the corner and whistles me out
His hands in his pockets, his shirt hanging out
He comes down our alley and he whispered me out,
And when I get out there he knocks me about.
He took me to the alehouse and bought me some stout
Before I could drink it he ordered me out
He bought me a handkerchief, red, white, and blue,
Then to clean windows, he tore it in two.
Me back is a-breaking. Me fingers is sore,
Gutting the herring he brings to the shore.
The storm is a-raging. His boat isn't in.
Dursn't one tell me what's happened to him.
If he's gone to heaven, he'll come to no harm.
If he's gone to hell, then he'll keep himself warm.
