Verse 
    Em        D      Em 
When I was a maiden fair and young 
    G      Em      D 
I florished in my prime, prime 
        Em    G          D 
Till a proper tall young man came in 
     Em                 D 
And stole this heart of mine, mine 
     Em         G       Em 
And stole this heart of mine 

    Em        D      Em 
The gardener's son being standing by 
        G      Em      D 
Three gifts he gave to me, me 
     Em                 D 
The pink, the rue, the violet blue 
     Em                 D 
And the red red rosy tree, tree 
     Em      G    Em 
The red red rosy tree 

      Em       D      Em 
Come all you maids wherever you be 
        G    Em      D 
That florish in your prime, prime 
     Em                 D 
Be wise, beware, keep free from care 
     Em                 D 
Let no man steel your time, time 
     Em      G        Em 
Let no man steel your time

Till a proper tall young man came in 
     Em                 D 
And stole this heart of mine, mine 
     Em         G       Em 
And stole this heart of mine
