G
D
My love is like a dewdrop
setting out upon a thorn
G
D
G
Puts love on on Sunday night,
C
D
C
D
takes it off on Monday morn
G
D
He carries love in his pocket,
C
D
but little in his heart
G
D
He's a lad who loves a good many
and gives every girl her part
G
D
The first time I saw my love
He met me with a smile
D
C
D
and he gave to me a rose
D
C
D
but I did pass him by
G
D
Before I would accept of it
G
D
G
I'd lay me down and die
But little did I like him
D

any better for all that
G

C
Am
D
and his watch it ran too slow
and told him for to go
G

G
D
G
He thinks that he can serve me

So fare ye well, cold winter,
D
G
Nothing have I gained,
D
C

but my own true love I lost I'll
D
G
when the occasion I do see
let him go farewell be
G

Take half a pound of reason
and quarter pound of sense
G

A small sprig of time and
C

so much impudence
D
C
D
and then you'll plainly see
G
D
He's boss, deceiving lover,
let him go,
G
D
farewell he you
