1. They stood on the beach one evening, out in the moonlight fair

                  G                                                     C        D        G

    'twas a boy in the pride of manhood, and a girl in beauty rare.

         G                                                                                         D

    “I never thought that you loved me”, an innocent look of surprise,

              G                                                    C              D               G

    crept out from beneath her lashes and into those deep brown eyes.

 

             G                                                              D

+  “Oh, sir, I was only a-flirting, only a-playing a part !”

               G                                            C          D         G

    Just another boy's life ruined, just another broken heart.

            G                                                                                               D

2.“Sir, I'm to be married this winter, farewell !” and she gave me her hand,

              G                                             C           D                 G

    and drawing a robe around her she left me alone on the sand.

              G                                                                           D

    She goes with a crowd, I'll pass her, always bitter and cold,

              G                                               C        D              G

    just another boy grown weary, just another boy grown old.

3. There's a rose grows in your garden,

                                                    D

    white rose is the emblem of peace,

               G

    and when I am dead, little darling,

                     C                 D                  G

    plant that rose at my head and my feet.

 

             G                                                              D

+  “Oh, sir, I was only a-flirting, only a-playing a part !”

               G                                            C          D         G

    Just another boy's life ruined, just another broken heart.
