[Verse 1]
[C]As I was going down the [D]road
one fine [G]morn[Em]ing,
[C]oh the brown [Em]an d the yellowing,
I met with a young man
[D]without [C]any [Bm]warning,
[G]Oh, [Em]love[C] of [Em]my h[D]eart[Em][G]
[Em]He a[G]sked[C] me if t[Em]he woman
by [C]my [D]side
was my [G]daughter.
[Em]Oh, [C]the brown an d[Em] the
yellow hair.
When I said she was my wife,
[C]well, [D]it's a did not al[G]ter.
[C]Oh, love [Em]of my[G] heart.
[Em]He a[G]sked[C] me if I[Em]'d lend [E]her
[C]for [D]an hour and a day.
Oh [C]the brown and [E]the yellow ale
I [Em]said if she thinks it's fair
[D]you may take [E]her away[G]
[D]Oh [C]lov[G]e of [D]my [Bm]hear[E]t[G]
[Em]She [G]said, [C]you take the high [D]road,
and I'll [C]take off [G]with him.
[Em]Oh, [C]the brown and the [Em]yellow ale,
[C]an d we'll [Em]meet again [C]by
that [D]fort [Em]on the [G]river.
[Em]Oh, [C]love[E] of [Em]my heart[G]
[Em]I wa[C]ited by that fort
for an hour an[D]d a quarter[G]
[C]Oh, the brown an[Em]d the [E]yellow ale,
[Em]And when she gave to me,
[D]it was [C]without shame [G]I saw her,
[Em]Oh, [C]love[D] of [G]my h[Em]eart[G]
[Em]She [C]told me [D]her story
[E]I lay d[D]own and I d[G]ied
[Em]Oh, [C]the brown and the [Em]yellow ale[E]
She sent two men out [C]for timber,
oh, she never [D]even [G]cried.
[C]Oh, [Bm]love [D]of [G]my [Em]heart.[G][D]
[C]Aboard of Alder, [D]and aboard of Olive,
[G]O the[C] brown and the[Em] yell[E]ow wave,
[Em]
[C]Are two [Em]greater yards [C]of a
[D]shroud all about [G]me,[Bm]
[C]O love o[Em]f my heart.
[G]And if [G]my old[C] little mother,
she had never [D]been a [G]woman,
[C]Oh, the brown and the [Em]yel low hair,
[E]I would say a man is another,
[D]Song about the [G]wo men
Oh, [E]love [E]of [D]my hea[G]rt
