CGC
She looked out of the window as white as any milk
CGC
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a duck, a duck all on the stream
CFGC
And he became a water dog and fetched her back again
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a star, a star all in the night
CFGC
And he became a thundercloud and muffled her out of sight
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a rose, a rose all in the wood
CFGC
And he became a bumble bee and kissed her where she stood
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white
CFGC
And he became a canting priest and prayed for her by night
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a trout, a trout all in the brook
CFGC
And he became a feathered fly and catched her with his hook
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
CGC
She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground
CFGC
And he became a the cold dark clay and smothered her all around
[Chorus]
CGC
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
FG
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
CGC
That I have kept so long
CGC
I'd rather die a maid
CFG
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
CGC
Coal black smith
FGC
A maiden I will die
