[Verse]
Am                  C            
I see your waist is slender, your
                  E
 fingers they are small,
     Am                 C       F
Your cheeks too red and rosy to

But it would not make me tremble

to see ten thousand fall,
Am     E                Am
Oh to see ten thousand fall.

Oh her darling boy she found.

She sent for a physician to

Oh to quickly heal his wounds.
