verse 1 
       G                        D           G 
I will twine with my mingles of raven black hair 
         G                    D         G 
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair; 
    G                          C       G 
The myrtle so bright with it's emerald dew 
                                D            G 
And the pale and the leader and eyes look so blue. 


verse 2 
       G                          D             G 
I will dance, I would sing and my life shall be gay. 
       G                         D            G 
I will charm every heart, in its crown I will sway. 
     G                              C         G       
When woke from my dreaming, and all idols was clay 
        G                      D          G 
And all portions of lovin' had all flown away.

verse 3 
   G                         D           G 
He taught me to love him and promised to love 
    G                   D       G 
And cherish me over all others above. 
   G                          C          G 
My poor heart is wond'ring no misery can tell. 
   G                      D            G 
He left me no warning, no words of farewell. 


verse 4 
   G                         D             G 
He taught me to love him and called me his flower 
         G                             D            G 
That was blooming to cheer him through life's weary hour. 
       G                    C             G 
How I long to see him and regret the dark hour 
     G                      D             G 
He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower.
