Verse 1
the morn bright and clear,
All the sun it shone brightly,
G
C
and keen blew the air.
I went to the forest
to gather fine flowers,
F
C
But the forest would yield me no roses
Dm
C
The roses are red
Dm
G
and the leaves they are green,
C
Dm
all the bushes and briars,
F
G
a joy to be seen,
C
G
and the small birds are singing
C
G
C
and and changing their nose down among
Dm
G
C
Dm
C
the wild beasts of the forest.
The first time I saw my love,
C
Dm
made my eyes run and water,
G
C
G
well I might have been that one,
C
Dm
but she's left me and gone
F
G
C
with another.
The last time I saw my love,
G
C
she did in the church stand
C
G
My love she has left me
G
C
Dm
for she's gone to be wed
F
G
C
to an other
the parson that married them aloud
G
C
Dm
he did cry all you that forbid it
G
C
G
Sure, I've a good reason why,
C
Dm
F
G
C
But I had not the heart to forbid it.
Go dig me my grave,
G
C
Dig it long, wide and deep,
Dm
F
G
I uncover it over with flowers so sweet
C
G
That I might lie down there
C
G
and take a long sleep
C
Dm
And that's the best way
F
G
C
to forget her
You
