            G      A        D
One morning in the month of May
                 G    D
As from my cot I strayed
     G                     D
Just at the dawning of the day
                      Bm
I met with a charming maid
                    G      D
Just at the dawning of the day
  G          A        D
I met with a charming maid

[Verse]
               G      A               D
"Good morning, do you whither?" said I
                     G  D
"Good morning to you now.."
    G                             D
The maid replied, "kind sir", she cried
                      Bm
"I've lost my spotted cow"
                        A         D
The maid replied, "kind sir", she cried
      G       A       D
"I've lost my spotted cow"

[Verse]
           G        A      D
"No longer weep, no longer mourn
                       G  D
Your cow's not lost my dear..
  G                      D
I saw her down in yonder grove
                              Bm
Come, love, and I'll show you where"
                  G      D
I saw her down in yonder grove
      G              A        D
Come, love, and I'll show you where"

"I must confess you're very kind

I thank you, sir", said she..
    G                         D
"We will be sure her there to find
                         Bm
Come sweetheart, go with me"

Come sweetheart, go with me"

[Verse]
           G          A         D
And in the grove they spent the day
                           G  D
They thought it passed too soon..
   G                              D
At night they homeward bent their way
                         Bm
While brightly shone the moon
                       G          D
At night they homeward bent their way
      G        A         D
While brightly shone the moon

If he should cross the flowery dale
                  G  D
Or go to view the plough
    G                            D
She comes and calls, "You gentle swain
                     Bm
I've lost me spotted cow"
                          A      D
She comes and calls, "You gentle swain
     G       A       D
I've lost me spotted cow"
