Verse 1
Come (E minor) all young girls of a tender mind,
My story I'll tell to (A minor) you, (G minor)
(E minor) And listen well to my advice,
And to my counsel (A minor) true.
(E minor) As a rule the mind of a girl is weak,
And the mind of a man (A minor) is strong,
An (E minor) d if you listen to what they say,
they're sure to lead you wrong. (A minor)
(E minor) When I was in my sixteenth year,
sweet Willie courted me.
He said if I'd run (F major) away (E minor) with him,
his loving bride I'd (A minor) be.
I (E minor) love my mother as my life.
I love my father well. (A minor)
(D sharp major) But the love I have for sweet Wil (E minor) lie dear,
(B flat major) no hu (E flat major) man tongue can tell. (E minor)
When we were far away from (B flat major) home,
(E flat major) enjoying a happy (E minor) life,
He said, go home, go home,
little girl,
for you never can be my wife.
Oh, Willie dear, what have I (B flat major) done?
What (D sharp major) makes you treat me (E minor) so?
How (D sharp major) can you (E minor) take me (F major) from my (E minor) home
and (E flat major) then leave me to (A flat minor) mourn?
(E flat major) It's (B flat major) nature, (E minor) nature, (F major) my (B flat major) little girl,
I find (E flat major) no fault in you. (A flat minor)
(E flat major) My mind is set on ram (B flat major) bling around,
and (F major) now I (E flat major) bid you adieu.
Sweet Willie
