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.
