Em D C
Were the calf to die in the womb
C Em
And the ewe to bear her lamb too soon
D C
Should the field of barley fail
C Em
And the baby at your breast grow pale
C D G C D Em
Our love will not mildewed grow – no.
Em D C
Were the snow to last until spring
C Em
And your fingers blue up to the ring
Em D C
Should you curse the icy blast
C Em
All your beauty it destroys at last
C D G C D Em
Our love will not mildewed grow – no.
Em D C
But with every new born day
C Em
The same thought through our lives will always stay
D C
And the sun will shine through the dew
C Em
The baby will have rosy cheeks like you
C D G C D Em
Our love will not mildewed grow – no.
