Verse 1
There (A minor) were three men come
from (E minor) over the way
Oh, (A minor) the rose and (E minor) the lily -o
And these three men came after one lady
As the (C major) rose was so (E minor) sweetly (B major) grown (A minor)
The first man came, he was (E minor) all in white
He (A minor) asked her if she'd (E minor) be his delight
The next man came and
he was all in green
Asked (A minor) her (C major) if she (E minor) would be his queen
(A minor) Oh, (C major) the rose and (E minor) the lily
Oh, (C major) the rose and (F major) the lily,
As (A minor) the (C major) rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown,
(A minor) So the (C major) lily is so (E minor) sweetly (A minor) sung.
The first man came,
he was (E minor) all in white,
(A minor) I asked her if she'd (E minor) be his delight.
The (B major) last man came
and (E minor) he was (B major) dressed in (E minor) red,
(A minor) I asked her (C major) nicely if (E minor) she would (A minor) wear,
Yes, I have asked your father (E minor) , dear,
(A minor) And also her that (E minor) did you bear.
And (B major) I have asked (A minor) your (B major) sister, (E minor) Anne,
Though (A minor) I've nev (C major) er met
your (E minor) brother John.
(A minor) Oh, (C major) the rose an (E minor) d the lily
Oh, (C major) the rose and (F major) the lily
As (A minor) (C major) the rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown
So (A minor) the (C major) lily is so (E minor) sweetly (A minor) sung
(E minor) (A minor) (C major) (E minor) (A minor)
On the road as they (E minor) rode along
There (A minor) they met her (E minor) brother John
Oh, (C major) she stood (D major) low to (C major) give him (E minor) kisses sweet
He, (A minor) to (C major) her heart, did (E minor) a dagger (A minor) meet
I wish I were on (E minor) yonder stile
There (A minor) I'd sit and I'd (E minor) bleed a while
I (C major) wish I (D major) were (C major) up on (E minor) yonder hill
For (A minor) there (C major) I'd sit and (E minor) I'd make (A minor) my will
All (C major) the rose and (E minor) the lily,
all (C major) of the rose and (F major) the lily
As (A minor) the (C major) rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown,
(A minor) so that (C major) the lily is so (E minor) sweetly (A minor) sung
What would you give to your (E minor) father, dear?
This (A minor) gallant horse that does (E minor) me bear
What (A minor) would you (C major) give (E minor) to your mother,
dear?
This (A minor) wedding (C major) dress that (E minor) I do (A minor) wear
What would you give your (E minor) mother, dear?
(A minor) Belts, running dress, that (E minor) I'd wear
No, (C major) she must wash it very, (E minor) very clean
For (A minor) my heart's (C major) blood stays (E minor) in every (A minor) seam
(C major) On the rose, (E minor) on the (C major) rose of (F major) the lily,
As (C major) the rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown,
(A minor) So are (C major) the leaves, so (E minor) sweetly (A minor) stoned.
What would you give to your (E minor) sister Anne,
My (A minor) good gold ring and my
(E minor) feathered thong
What would you (C major) give to your brother John
(E minor) A (A minor) tall, tall (C major) tree to (E minor) hang him (A minor) on?
What would you give to your (E minor) brother John
A (A minor) rope and gallows (E minor) to hang him on?
What (C major) would you give to your (E minor) brother's wife
A widow's (C major) beat and a (E minor) peaceful (A minor) life?
(C major) Oh the rose and (E minor) the lily
Oh (C major) the rose and (F major) the lily
As (A minor) the (C major) rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown,
(A minor) So the (C major) lily is so (E minor) sweetly (A minor) sung.
(C major) Oh, the rose and (E minor) the lily,
Oh, (C major) the rose and (F major) the lily,
As the (C major) rose is so (G major) sweetly (E minor) grown,
(A minor) So the (C major) lake is so (E minor) sweetly sung.
