E B E
EOh I'll twine with my mingles and wBaving black hEair
With the roses so red and the lBilies so fEair
And the myrtle so bright with the Aemerald dEew
The pale and the leader and Beyes look like bElue.
I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay
All portions of love had all flown away.

GOh she taught me to love her and prDomised to lGove
And to cherish me over all Dothers abGove
How my heart is now wondering no mCisery can tGell
She left me no warning no wDords of farewGell.
Yes she taught me to love her and called me her flower
That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour
Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour
She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower.

E B E

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair

B E

With the roses so red and the lilies so fair

A E

And the myrtle so bright with the emerald dew

B E

The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.

I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay

I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay

All portions of love had all flown away.

E B E

G D G

Oh she taught me to love her 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

She left me no warning no words of farewell.

Yes she taught me to love her and called me her flower

That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour

Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour

She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower.
