Intro : D,A,D  
TDhey were very very happy, their Amarriage was a gem,
BuGt death was soon to take his pretty wife away from Dhim;A  
DWith her dying breath she whispered, we have Geverlasting love,
And I'll Dcome back to be with you as a Alittle snow white Ddove.
Time went Dby and nothing happened, the Adove did not appear,
The Gyoung man fell in love again and married iDn a year;
But the day he brought his new bride home the Gneighbors were to see,
A Dsnow white dove come fluttering down Aupon the snowball Dtree.
There she sobbed and moaned heartbroken in aAn almost human way,
GNo matter what the weather, she would perch there every Dday;
When the neighbors and the servants, now the Gstory they had learned,
That Din the `guise of this white dove the Ayoung wife had Dreturned.
The new bride heard the story and her Anerves began to fail,
The Gyoung man tried to help her but it was to no Davail;
To save his second marriage he Gknew something must be done,
So at Ddawning the next morning he Awent out with his Dgun.E  
He raised the gun and fired through the Gleaves so deep and green,
The Asnow white breast turned scarlet and he heard a woman Escream;
The dove flew high into the air Aand disappeared from sight,
But as Ehe lay there in slumber the Gyoung man died that Enight.
'Neath the snow ball tree they buried him to Glie in last repose,
The Ayoung wife and the servants left Afor where nobody Eknows;
Now the big house stands there empty and the Agarden lies in ruins,
But Eabove the young man's grave each year the Gsnow ball tree still Eblooms.
They say that no one comes to see that Glonely unkempt green,
But Aevery year at a certain time a visitor is Eseen;
And Gif you Espoke to the neighbors then they'll Atell you what they see,
Its a Esnow white dove with a scarlet breast Gperched on the snow ball Etree.
There she sobs and moans heartbroken in an Galmost human way,
ANo matter what the weather she will perch there Eevery day;
And she seems forlorn and lonely for a Alove that couldn't last,
And you hear Eher cry in anguish for a Gsad and tragic Epast.
Outro : A,E,G,E
