Who Is At My Window Weeping?

	  		

 


Em Bm G Bm 
Who is at my window weeping, 
Weeping there so bitterly? 
C Am Bm Em 
It's I, it's I, your own true lover 
Arise, arise and pity me. 

Em Bm G Bm 
Darling, go and ask your mother 
If my wedding bride you'll be 
C Am Bm Em 
If she says no, return and tell me. 
And I'll no longer trouble thee. 

Em Bm G Bm 
I cannot go and ask my mother 
For I'm her only child and dear 
C Am Bm Em 
Oh, darling, go and seek some other, 
She whispered softly in his ear. 

Em Bm G Bm 
And Darling, go and ask your father 
If my wedding bride you'll be 
C Am Bm Em 
If he says no, return and tell me. 
And I'll no longer trouble thee. 

Em Bm G Bm 
I cannot go and ask my father 
For he lies in bed and rest 
C Am Bm Em 
Beside him lie that silver dagger 
To slay the one that I love best 

Em Bm G Bm 
Then William took that silver dagger 
And pierced it through his aching heart 
C Am Bm Em 
I bid adieu, to all false loved ones. 
I bid adieu, for now we part. 

Em Bm G Bm 
Then Mary took the blood-stained dagger 
And pierced it through her lily breast. 
C Am Bm Em 
I bid adieu to my cruel parents. 
I bid adieu, for now we rest. 
C Am 
I bid adieu to my cruel parents 
Bm          B                         Em 
I bid adieu, for now we rest.
