Lyrics

In London (A)city, where I did (D)dwell,

a butcher (C)boy I loved right (A)well.

He courted (Bm)me my life (Em)away,

but the now with (A)me he an will not (D)stay.

I wish, I (A)wish, y, I wish in (D)vain,

I wish I (C)was a maid (A)again.

A maid (Bm)again I ne'er will (Em)be till the cherries (A)grow on an ivy (D)tree.

I wish my love."
