[C]I’m a stranger in this [F]country

From A[G]miricay I [C]came.

There is no one here that [G]knows me

And they [Am]cannot tell [F]my [C]name.

Here’s a health to lovely [G]Nancy

As she [Am]stands up [F]on the [C]shore.

She is ever in my [F]fancy
And she [G]loves me ever [C]more.

Some say I’m foolish
Some say I’m wild.
Some say I’m cunning
Young maids to beguile.
But to make them all liars
If you’ll come with me.
I’ll take you to America
May darling to be.
