[Verse 1]
G
One fair girl with fine yellow hair
     G                      D
Wild flower of the west country
G                    C
Left one night for a stormy ride
     D       C           G    D C G
On a winding road to the east

[Verse 2]
G
One fair girl at the Birmingham Mill
      G                       D
For a dollar and a half times three
        G                            C
See the spinning wheels turn, she is young but she'll learn
         D             C        G    D C G
With her slender white hands to weave

[Verse 3]
G
Twelve smoke stacks in a row row row
      G                  D
And a girl of five times three
        G                          C
See the mill boss patrol, hear the factory bells toll
        D             C          G
And the girls look as sad as can be
        D                      G   D C G
And she cried for her home country

G
One little spark set a light to a flame
        G                           D
And the fire climbed through to the east
        G                       C
And the roof it crashed and the girls all dashed
         D          C      G
And they all cried "oh god please"
        D                            G   D C G
And she crawled on her hands and her knees

[Verse 5]
       G
At the Birmingham Mill where the wild flowers grow
          G                    D
Round the grave of the girl so fair
        G                           C
See the lilly bells bloom round her cold marble tomb
         D           C             G   D C G
And they come in the spring of the year
