(Oh, ho!!)

(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)

(How I love my truly fair)

(There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her)

(Flowers for her golden hair)



CHORUS

My, truly, truly fair

Truly, truly fair

How I love my truly fair (his truly fair)

There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her

Flowers for her golden hair



(Oh, ho!!)

Some men plow the open plains, some men sail the brine

But I'm in love with a pretty little maid, for work I have no time



She's

CHORUS



(Oh, ho!!)

Once I sailed from Boston Bay bound for Singapore

But one day out and I missed her so, I swam right back to shore



Back to my truly fair

Truly, truly fair

How I love my truly fair

There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her

Flowers for her golden hair



(Oh, ho!!)

I love she and she loves me, pardon if I boast

At times we fight all the live-long night 'bout who loves who the most



CHORUS



(Oh, ho!!)

Soon I'm gonna marry her, love her till I die

There ain't no livin' on love alone but still I'm gonna try



(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)

(How I love my truly fair)

There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her

Flowers for her golden hair (for her golden hair)



How I love my truly fair (loves his truly fair)

Wow! How I love my truly fair (how he loves his truly fair
