[Verse 1]
       G                       
I will twine with my mingles of 
 D           G
raven black hair
         G                    D   
With the roses so red and the 
      G
lilies so fair;
    G                         
The myrtle so bright with it's 
 C       G
emerald dew
                                D  
And the pale and the leader and 
          G
eyes look so blue.


[Verse 2]
       G                          
I will dance, I would sing and my 
D             G
life shall be gay.
       G                        
I will charm every heart, in its 
 D            G
crown I will sway.

     G                             
When woke from my dreaming, and all
 C         G
 idols was clay
        G                      D  
And all portions of lovin' had all
        G
 flown away.

[Verse 3]
   G                        
He taught me to love him and 
 D           G
promised to love
    G                   D    
And cherish me over all others 
   G
above.
   G                          C   
My poor heart is wond'ring no 
       G
misery can tell.
   G                      D       
He left me no warning, no words of
     G
 farewell.


[Verse 4]
   G                         D    
He taught me to love him and 
         G
called me his flower
         G                    
That was blooming to cheer him 
         D            G
through life's weary hour.
       G                    C     
How I long to see him and regret 
        G
the dark hour
     G                      D  
He's gone and neglected his pale 
           G
wildwood flower.
