Cold blows the wind to my true love

And gently drops the rain 
     C     G7      C        G     G7 
I've never had but one true love

As any young girl may

I'll sit and mourn all on his grave

For a- twelve month and a day

And when twelve months and a day was passed

The ghost did rise and speak

C   F        G7     C  
And will not let me sleep? "

And blood from out of a stone 
   C        G7          C           G     G7 
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast 
C      F         G7        C  
That a young man never has known. "

"How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart 
C     G7              G    G7 
Where we were wont to walk 
    C       G7          C      G   G7 
The fairest flower that e'er I saw 
C   F        G7   C  
Has withered to a stalk." 

Verse 6 
     F                     G7         C  
"The stalk is withered and dead, sweetheart 
C   G7                  G    G7 
The flower will never return. 
     C         G7      C        G     G7 
And since I've lost my own true love 
C    F     G7     C  
What can I do but yearn."

When will we meet again? "

C   F         G7         C  
Are green and spring up again."
