Verse 1
Morning
There comes an evening
And after evening, another day
And after false love,
there comes a true love
I'll have you listen now to what I say
I swear my love is as fair a

young man,
As fair as any the sun shines on.

gallows tree
What else, my love,

Csus4

shame or scandal
Csus4

For a man to hang upon

He looked around and he saw her coming
And she was dressed all in woolen fine
Csus4

The weary steed that my love was riding
It flew more swiftly than the wind
Csus4

Come down, come down from that cruel gallows
Csus4

I've got your pardon from the king
And I'll let them see that
they dare not have you
And I'll crown my love with a

bunch of greens
