Intro - guitar and banjo play the verse tune and chords X2 verse 1 I will twine with my mingles of raven black hair With the roses so red and the lilies so fair; The myrtle so bright with it's emerald dew And the pale and the leader and eyes look so blue. verse 2 I will dance, I would sing and my life shall be gay. I will charm every heart, in its crown I will sway. When woke from my dreaming, and all idols was clay And all portions of lovin' had all flown away. Instrumental- guitar and banjo play the verse tune and chords X2 verse 3 He taught me to love him and promised to love And cherish me over all others above. My poor heart is wond'ring no misery can tell. He left me no warning, no words of farewell. verse 4 He taught me to love him and called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him through life's weary hour. How I long to see him and regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower. Outro X2
