    • Verse 1
    There 
    were three 
    men 
    come 

    from 
    over 
    the way 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily 
    -o 

    And 
    these three 
    men came 
    after one 
    lady 

    As 
    the 
    rose 
    was so 
    sweetly 
    grown 

    The 
    first 
    man came, 
    he was 
    all in 
    white 

    He 
    asked her 
    if 
    she'd 
    be his 
    delight 

    The 
    next man 
    came and 

    he was 
    all 
    in green 

    Asked 
    her 
    if she 
    would 
    be his 
    queen 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily, 

    As 
    the 
    rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown, 

    So the 
    lily 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    sung. 

    The 
    first man 
    came, 

    he was 
    all 
    in white, 

    I asked 
    her if 
    she'd 
    be his 
    delight. 

    The 
    last man 
    came 

    and 
    he was 
    dressed in 
    red, 

    I asked her 
    nicely 
    if 
    she would 
    wear, 

    Yes, 
    I 
    have asked 
    your father
    , dear, 

    And also 
    her 
    that 
    did you 
    bear. 

    And 
    I 
    have asked 
    your 
    sis
    ter, 
    Anne, 

    Though 
    I've 
    nev
    er met 

    your 
    brother John. 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    an
    d the lily 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily 

    As 
    the rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown 

    So 
    the 
    lily 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    sung 


    On 
    the 
    road 
    as they 
    rode 
    along 

    There 
    they 
    met her 
    brother 
    John 

    Oh, 
    she stood 
    low 
    to 
    give him 
    kisses 
    sweet 

    He, 
    to 
    her heart, 
    did 
    a dagger 
    meet 

    I 
    wish 
    I were 
    on 
    yonder 
    stile 

    There 
    I'd 
    sit and I'd 
    bleed 
    a 
    while 

    I 
    wish I 
    were 
    up on 
    yonder 
    hill 

    For 
    there 
    I'd sit 
    and 
    I'd make 
    my will 

    All 
    the 
    rose 
    and 
    the lily, 

    all 
    of 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily 

    As 
    the 
    rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown, 

    so 
    that 
    the lily 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    sung 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    father, 
    dear? 

    This 
    gallant 
    horse 
    that does 
    me 
    bear 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    mother, 

    dear? 

    This 
    wedding 
    dress 
    that 
    I do 
    wear 

    What 
    would 
    you give 
    your 
    mother, 
    dear? 

    Belt
    s, 
    running dress, 
    that 
    I'd 
    wear 

    No, 
    she must 
    wash 
    it very, 
    very 
    clean 

    For 
    my heart's 
    blood 
    stays 
    in every 
    seam 

    On 
    the rose, 
    on 
    the 
    rose 
    of 
    the lily, 

    As 
    the rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown, 

    So are 
    the leaves, 
    so 
    sweetly 
    stoned. 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    sister 
    Anne, 

    My 
    good gold 
    ring 
    and my 

    feathered 
    thong 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    brother John 

    A 
    tall, 
    tall 
    tree 
    to 
    hang him 
    on? 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    brother John 

    A 
    rope and 
    gallows 
    to hang 
    him on? 

    What 
    would you 
    give 
    to your 
    brother's 
    wife 

    A 
    widow's 
    beat 
    and 
    a 
    peaceful 
    life? 

    Oh 
    the rose 
    and 
    the 
    lily 

    Oh 
    the 
    rose 
    and 
    the lily 

    As 
    the 
    rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown, 

    So the 
    lily 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    sung. 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily, 

    Oh, 
    the rose 
    and 
    the lily, 

    As 
    the 
    rose 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    grown, 

    So the 
    lake 
    is so 
    sweetly 
    sung.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
