[Verse 1]
   Fm          Eb          Ab          Eb
All to my dear Dinah these words I did say,
   Fm              Ab                             C
To-morrow we'll be married love, to-morrow is the day.
     Fm            Ab                    C
'Tis too soon dear William my age is too young,
Ab   Bb         C          Fm      Eb   Fm
One  day to our wedding is one day  too soon.

[Verse 2]
     Fm       Eb             Ab            Eb
I'll go in to service if the day ain't too late,
    Fm           Ab                 C
For to wait on a fine lady it is my intent.
    Fm            Ab                 C
And when in-to service a year or two bound,
Ab   Bb         C               Fm   Eb     Fm
It's then we'll get married and both settle down.

[Verse 3]
  Fm          Eb          Ab          Eb
A little time after a letter was wrote
   Fm                 Ab                    C
For to see if my dear Dinah had changed her mind.
  Fm               Ab                          C
But she wrote that she'd lived such a contrary life
Ab   Bb         C              Fm    Eb         Fm
She said that she'd never be a young shepherd's wife.
