  			G                                  D           G 
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and raven black hair 
                              D          G 
With the roses so red and the lillies so fair 
                                  C       G 
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue 
                     D              G 
The pale amanita and eyes look like blue 

G                                D              G 
I will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay 
                                  D            G 
I will charme every heart, in his crown I will sway 
                                 C        G 
When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay 
                        D         G 
All portion of love had all flown away 

G                                D           G 
Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love 
                           D      G 
And to cherish me over all others above 
                                  C          G 
How my heart is now wondering, no misery can tell 
                            D        G 
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell 

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