She droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	B
	-
	-
The sun comes up from the lea	A
As he who will never come more	C
Came up that first day to her door	C
When the ship furled her sails by the shore	C
And the spring leaves were green on the tree	A
	-
	-
But she droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-
	-
	-
The sun goes down in the sea	A
As he who will never go more	C
Went down that last day from her door	C
When the ship set her sails from the shore	C
And the dead leaves were sere on the tree	A
	-
	-
But she droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-
The year comes glad o'er the lea	A
As he who will never come more	C
Never ah never	D
Came up that first day to her door	C
When the ship furled her sails by the shore	C
And the spring leaves were green on the tree	A
Never ah never	D
He who will come again never	D
	-
	-
But she droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-
	-
	-
The year goes sad to the sea	A
As he who will never go more	C
For ever went down from her door	C
Ever for ever	D
When the ship set her sails by the shore	C
And the dead leaves were sere on the tree	A
Ever for ever	D
For ever went down from her door	C
	-
	-
But she droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-

A gun and a flash and a gun	E
The ship lies again where she lay	F
High and low low and high in the sun	E
There's a boat a boat on the bay	F
High and low low and high in the sun	E
All as she saw it that day	F
When he came who shall never come more	C
And the ship furled her sails by the shore	C
	-
	-
But she droops like a dew dropping lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-
	-
	-
All as she saw it that day	F
With a gun and a flash and a gun	E
The ship lies again where she lay	F
And they run and they ride and they run	E
Merry merry merry down the merry highway	F
To the boat high and low in the sun	E
Nearer and nearer she hears the rolling drum	G
Clearer and clearer she hears the cry 'They come '	-
Far and near runs the cheer to her ear once so dear	H
Merry merry merry up the merry highway	F
As it ran when he came that day	F
And said 'Wilt thou be my dearie	H
Oh wilt thou be my dearie	H
My boat is dry in the bay	F
And I'll love till thou be weary '	-
And she could not say him nay	F
For his bonny eyes o' blue	I
And never was true love so true	I
To never so kind a dearie	I
As he who will never love more	I
When the ship furls her sails by the shore	I
	-
	-
Then she shakes like a wind stricken lily	A
'Whisht thee boy whisht thee boy Willie	A
Whisht whisht o' thy wailing whisht thee boy Willie '	-
