[Intro]
Am Em X4
[Verse 1]
I Amam a young Emsailor, my Gstory is Fsad,
Though Amonce I was cEmarefree and a bAmrave sailor lEmad,
I Ccourted a Emlassie by Amnight and by Emday,
Oh but Amnow she has Emleft me,
And Gsailed far Faway.
[Chorus]
Oh, if AmI was a Emblackbird could Gwhistle and Fsing,
I'd Amfollow the Emvessel my Amtrue love sails Emin,
And Cin the top Emriggin' I Amwould there build my Emnest,
And I'd Amflutter my Emwings o'er her Glilly white Fbreast.
[Verse 2]
Or if AmI was a Emscholar and could Ghandle the Fpen
Once Amsecret love Emletter to my Amtrue love I'd Emsend
And I'd Ctell of my Emsorrow, my Amgrief and my Empain
Since Amshe's gone and Emleft me
In Gyon flowery Fglen.
[Chorus]
Oh, if AmI was a Emblackbird could Gwhistle and Fsing,
I'd Amfollow the Emvessel my Amtrue love sails Emin,
And Cin the top Emriggin' I Amwould there build my Emnest,
And I'd Amflutter my Emwings o'er her Glilly white Fbreast.
[Verse 3]
I Amsailed o'er the Emocean, my Gfortune to Fseek
Though I Ammissed her Emcaress and her Amkiss on my Emcheek
I Creturned and I Emtold her my Amlove was still Emwarm
but she Amturned away Emlightly
And Ggreat was her Fscorn.
[Chorus]
Oh, if AmI was a Emblackbird could Gwhistle and Fsing,
I'd Amfollow the Emvessel my Amtrue love sails Emin,
And Cin the top Emriggin' I Amwould there build my Emnest,
And I'd Amflutter my Emwings o'er her Glilly white Fbreast.

[Verse 4]
I Amoffered to Emtake her to GDonnybrook FFair
And to Ambuy her fine Emribbons to Amtie up her Emhair
I Coffered to Emmarry and to Amstay by her Emside
But she Amsays in the Emmorning
She Gsails with the Ftide.
[Chorus]
Oh, if AmI was a Emblackbird could Gwhistle and Fsing,
I'd Amfollow the Emvessel my Amtrue love sails Emin,
And Cin the top Emriggin' I Amwould there build my Emnest,
And I'd Amflutter my Emwings o'er her Glilly white Fbreast.
[Verse 5]
My Amparents, they Emchide me, and Gwill not Fagree
Saying that Amme and my Emfalse love, Ammarried should never Embe
Oh but Clet them Emdeprive me, or let them Amdo what they Emwill
While there's Ambreath in my Embody
She's the Gone that I love Fstill
[Chorus]
Oh, if AmI was a Emblackbird could Gwhistle and Fsing,
I'd Amfollow the Emvessel my Amtrue love sails Emin,
And Cin the top Emriggin' I Amwould there build my Emnest,
And I'd Amflutter my Emwings o'er her Glilly white Fbreast.
