[Verse 1]
EmShe's like a Bmswallow that Emflies so Chigh,
EmShe's like a Criver that Bmnever runs dry,
EmShe's like the Csunshine Bmon the lee Emshore,
She Emloves her Clove and love's Emno more.
[Verse 2]
Em'Tis out in the mBmeadow this Emfair maid did Cgo,
EmA picking a Clovely Bmprimrose,
EmThe more she Cplucked the Bmmore she Empulled,
Until Emshe's got Cher apron Emfull.
[Verse 3]
EmShe climbed on Bmyonder Emhill Cabove,
EmTo give a Crose unto Bmher love,
EmShe gave him Cone, she Bmgave him Emthree,
She Emgave her Cheart for cEmompany.
[Verse 4]
EmAnd as they Bmsat on yoEmnder hill aCbove,
EmTo give a Crose unto her Bmlove.
EmShe gave him Cone, she Bmgave him Emthree
She Emgave her Cheart for cEmompany
[Verse 5]
EmAnd as they Bmsat on Emyonder Chill
EmHis heart grew hCard, so Bmharder still.
EmHe has two Chearts instBmead of Emone;
She Emsays, young mCan what have you Emdone.
[Verse 6]
EmHow foolish, Bmfoolish you Emmust Cbe,
EmTo think I lCoved no oBmne but thee;
EmThis world's nCot made fBmor one Emalone;
I taEmke deligCht in every Emhome.

She's like a swallow that flies so high,

A picking a lovely primrose,

How foolish, foolish you must be,

This world's not made for one alone;

I take delight in every home.
