Let No Man Steal Your Thyme

     Dm      F        C      Am
Come all you fair and tender girls
     F        G       Dm
That flourish in your prime
F         G
Beware, beware
          D       Am
Keep your garden fair
     Dm     C         F   Em
Let no man steal your thyme
     Dm     Am        Dm
Let no man steal your thyme.
     Dm      F        C      Am
For when your thyme it is past and gone
      F        G       Dm
He'll care no more for you
     F     G                D         Am
And every place where your thyme was waste
     Dm     C         F   Em
Will all spread o'er with rue
     Dm         Am        Dm
Will all spread o'er with rue.
     Dm        F        C      Am
The gardener's son was standing by
      F          G       Dm 
Three flowers he gave to me
     F     G                D         Am
The pink, the blue, and the violet true
     Dm         C     F   Em
And the red, red rosy tree
        Dm         Am        Dm
And the red, red rosy tree.
     Dm        F           C      
But I refused the red rose bush
      F          G       Dm 
And gained the willow tree
     F        G         D      Am
That all the world may plainly see
     Dm      C      F Em
How my love slighted me
     Dm       Am     Dm
How my love slighted me
