I ONCE LOVED A BOY
Tradional Irish folksong

Key: F

9  8    -8   8  6   6  6  -6  -6 -6  -10
I once loved a boy and a bold Ir-ish boy,
9   -9    8  -8    7   -6 -7 -7   6   7
I would come and would go at his re-quest.
9     9   8   -8   8   6
And this bold bon-nie boy
6   6    -6  -6  -6 -10
Was my pride and my joy.
-9 -9   8   -8  7 -6  -6 -7  6   7
And I built him a bow-er in my breast.

And this girl who has taken
My bold bonnie lad,
May she make of it all that she can.
For whether he loves me or loves me not,
I will walk with my love now and then.
