[Verse 1]
[C]Saving my flowers away for you
Though It's [C]homeward I know I should [G]be

The [C]captain he asked me
On a cold winter's eve
"Is it [C]married you're intending to [C]be?

With a [F]candle and [G]babe on her [Am]sleeve
With a [F]candle and [G]babe on her sleeve?"

[Verse 3]
[C]Yes, and then "No, sir,"

If [C]I had but one

[C]Two years ago
There came to the show
A fair [C]maiden a- courtin' for [C]me
[C]We had it won
With the ring and the money
But she [F]wallowed in [G]pity for [Am]me
She said a [F]mariner [G]boy's never

[Verse 5]
It's [C]often the day
Sitting up on the waves
That I [C]wish I could then see her [C]face
And the [C]dark hair entwined
Down her magical spine
But I'll [F]always re[G]member her [Am]name
Yes, I'll [F]always re[G]member her [C]name
