Verse 1
A 
Proud  (A major) Margaret stood at
her father's doorway,
Straight as a willow wand,
G 
And by there came a gardener  (G major) bold,
A 
 (A major) With a red rose in his hand,
A red rose in his hand.
Oh, you shall have my rose,
fair maid,
if you give your flower to me.
And among the flowers in your
D 
Em 
G 
 (D major) father's  (E minor) garden,  (G major) 
A 
 (A major) I'll make a gum for thee,
I'll make a gum for thee.
G 
A 
The lily  (G major) white  (A major) will be your smock
that lights your body next
And the marigold will be your stays
with a red rose at your breast
G 
A 
Your gown shall  (G major) be  (A major) sweet
smelling thyme,
your apron saladine
Em 
Your petticoat of the camo (E minor) mile,
G 
A 
 (G major) Come  (A major) kiss, sweetheart, and join,
Join, kiss, sweetheart, and join.
Your gloves shall be of
the clover flower,
Shoes of the Russo fine,
Em 
I'll line them with the cornflower  (E minor) blue,
A 
 (A major) So join your love with mine,
Mine, join your love with mine.
Since you have made a gown for me
among the summer flowers
D 
Em 
So I will make a  (D major) suit for  (E minor) thee
A 
 (A major) among the winter showers,
the winter showers
The milk -white snow will be your shirt
that lines your body next
And the night -black rain
Em 
will be your  (E minor) coat
A 
 (A major) with the wind all at your breast,
all at your breast
The horses you shall ride upon
will be a wintry grey
Em 
And every time that you pass  (E minor) by
A 
I  (A major) wish you were away, away
I wish you were away, away
I wish you were away
