A Noblemans Wedding

G

[Verse 1]
G                  C             
Lately last night, I was asked to
   G  C
 a wedding
    G                         
The wedding of a fair maid who 
 C              D
proved to be unkind
         G          C             
For that day as she thought of her
   G            Dm7 C
 intended young lover
                G           D 
Thoughts of her old one had run 
              C     D
through her mind


[Verse 2]
G             C                  
Supper being over and all things 
     G  C
were ended
G                      C          
Every young man was to sing a fine 
 D
song
         G           C           
Until it came to the turn of her 
G           Dm7 C
own foreign lover
                     G            
And the song that he sang, to the 
D           C     D
bride did belong


[Verse 3]
 G                   C            
"How can you sit at another man's 
G C
table?
G                     C           
How can you drink of another man's 
 D
wine?
G           C          G   
How can you lie in the arms of 
     Dm7 C
another?

G                            D   
Many's the night, love, that you 
       C     D
lay in mine"


[Verse 4]
 G                       C        
"Many's the one has been seven 
   G  C
years parted
G              C                 
Seven years parted and he did 
     D
return again
    G        C       G          
But I have only been two years 
Dm7  C
away, love
G                         D      
Two years away, love, and did 
     C      D
return again"


[Verse 5]
    G                     C    
The bride, she was seated at the 
              G C
head of the table
G                              C 
Very well she knew to whom the 
         D
song did belong
         G              C         
Then her heart, it grew faint, she
       G           Dm7 C
 could stand it no longer
G                       D        
Down at the feet of the 
      C
bridegroom she fell


[Verse 6]
G                       C        
Sobbing and sighing she rose from
     G C
 the table
G                       C        
Sobbing and sighing she went to 
   D
her bed
G              C       G         
Early next morning the bridegroom
  Dm7 C
 awakened
   G                         D    
He turned to embrace her and found
         C
 she was dead


[Verse 7]
         G                    C   
Saying, "Annie, dear Annie, I knew
           G     C
 you never loved me
G                           C     
My love and your love could never 
 D
agree
     G          C              G 
For I knew all along that your 
             Dm7  C
poor heart was breaking
G                     D          
All for the sake of a foreign 
   C     D
young man"


[Verse 8]
   G               C               
So now I must wear a frock of deep 
G    C
mourning
G                         C      
A frock of deep mourning, one, 
      D
two and three
       G           C       G
I must wear to her wake my own 
           Dm7 C
wedding garment
G                                  
Ne'er again shall I go between the 
D            C
bark and the tree
