[Verse 1]
  C                F
I will not be your sweetheart
     G                   C
I'll tell you the reason why
   C             F
My mama's always told me
   G               C
To pass a drunkard by

[Chorus]
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
G                       C
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
        G                   C
There's someone waiting for me

[Verse 2]
C                    F
Now young man I will tell you
       G                C
If you want my heart my hand
    C                F
You better quit your drinking
    G          C
And be a sober man

[Chorus]
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
G                       C
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
        G                   C
There's someone waiting for me

[Verse 3]
   C                 F
Go prove yourself be faithful
   G                 C
Go prove yourself be true
    C               F
And sometime in the future
   G               C
Perhaps I'll marry you

[Chorus]
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
G                       C
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
        G                   C
There's someone waiting for me

Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
C                       F
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
        G                   C
