E                        B7           E
    Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair,
                                 B7          E
    with the roses so red and the lilies so fair,
                                      A       E
    and the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue,
                                B7              E
    the pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.

              E                         B7             E
    Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay,
                                       B7           E
    I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway,
                                    A          E
    when I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay,
                            B7          E
    all portion of love had all flown away.

            E                         B7          E
    Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love,
                               B7       E
    and to cherish me over all others above.
                                      A         E
    How my heart is now wond'ring no mis'ry can tell,
                                 B7           E
    he's left me no warning, no words of farewell.

             E                        B7             E
    Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower,
                                           B7             E
    that was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour.
                                 A             E
    Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour,
                                  B7            E
    he's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower.
