Maura O'Connell - Unconstant Lover



Intro:
G  D  G

Verse 1:
                   D     G
Oh, it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve
              D
And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief
    Em               C
For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
    G           D         G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
  Em               C
The thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
    G           D         G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave

Chorus:
                    C
Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers
      G           D
And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours
    Em               C
They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon
    G                   D     G
And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon


Verse 2:
                  D      G
Ah, but when you are married, look out for your hub
                 D
'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club
    Em           C
At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
  G            D     G
And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend
    Em           C
At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
  G            D     G
And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend


Verse 3:
  G            D      G
But fortunes are false and a fickle young day
                  D
And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid
    Em              C
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
   G             D       G
Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
    Em              C
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
   G             D       G
Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
