{t:A Kiss In The Morning Early}
{st:Trad.}


'Twas [G]early one [D]morning a [G]fair maid [C]arose
And [G]dressed herself [C]up in the [D]finest of [G]clothes
And [G]off to the [D]shoemaker's [G]shop sure she [C]goes
For the [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D7]early
The [G]cobbler ar[D]ose and he [G]soon let her [C]in
His [G]awl and his [C]hammer were [D]neat as a [G]pin
And [G]he had the [D]will for to [G]greet her so [C]slim
With a [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D]earl[G]y


O [G]Cobbler, o [D]cobbler, 'tis [G]soon we'll be [C]wed
And [G]nestling tog[C]ether in a [D]fine feather [G]bed
So [G]give me two [D]shoes with two [G]buckles of [C]red
For my [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D7]early
The [G]maid hid the [D]shoes at the [G]back of her [C]waist
She [G]praised his good [C]cobbling and [D]shoemaker's [G]taste
And [G]home to her [D]father she [G]mournfully [C]faced
With a [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D]earl[G]y


O [G]Father, o [D]Father, I've [G]got me a [C]man
And [G]he is the [C]one I would [D]wed if I [G]can
As [G]handsome as [D]ever in [G]leather did [C]stand
For my [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D7]early
So the [G]father was [D]thinking and [G]thinking ag[C]ain
For to [G]wed her to [C]riches and[D] have him for [G]kin
Who [G]knows but it [D]might be a [G]prince or a [C]king
With a [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D]earl[G]y


Who [G]knows but it [D]might be a [G]jobber from [C]town
Or a [G]wealthy sea [C]captain who's [D]sailed the world [G]round
A [G]man with some [D]thousands and [G]thousands of [C]pounds
That she [G]met in the [C]morning [D7]early
So the [G]father was [D]smiling, his [G]daughter emb[C]raced
And [G]touching the [C]buckles he [D]drew back in [G]haste
He [G]spied the red [D]shoes that were [G]tied round her [C]waist
Oh it [G]was in the [C]morning [D7]early
O [G]daughter, o [D]daughter, he [G]started to [C]shout
When [G]he did disc[C]over what [D]she was [G]about
God [G]knows 'twas [D]none but that [G]old cobbling [C]clout
With a [G]kiss in the [C]morning [D]earl[G]y
