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