Verse 1
There grew (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) a little flower,
Neath a great oak tree,
When the tempest (G major) gantled low,
A little heeded (C major) she.
No need had (F major) she to (E major) cower,
For she (A minor) dreaded not its power,
(E major) She was happy (A minor) in the bud
(E minor) of her great (B major) (E minor) oak tree,
Sing (C major) hay, (E minor) lack (C major) aday!
(G major) (C major) Sing hay, (G major) lackaday,
let the (C major) tears fall free
Of the (G major) pretty little flower
and the (C major) great oak tree,
Sing hay, (Fsus4) (F major) let her be,
(F sharpdim) (D major) (F sharpdim) (G major)
(C major) Let the (G major) tears fall (C major) free
For the (F major) pretty little (C major) flower
And the (D major) grey (G major) oak tree. (C major)
When she found that he was fickle,
Was that great oak tree,
She was in a pretty pickle,
As she (G major) well might (C major) be.
But his gallantry's were (E major) meekle,
Her death (A minor) followed with his (E major) sickle,
And her (A minor) tears began to (E minor) trickle
For her (B major) great oak (E minor) tree,
Sing (C major) hay, (E minor) (C major) like a day. (G major) (C major)
Sing hay, (G major) like a day,
let the (C major) tears fall free
For the (G major) pretty little flower
and the (C major) great oak tree.
Sing hay, (F major) like a day.
(F sharpdim) Sing hay, (G major) let her lay, hay, let her (C major) lay,
Let the (G major) tears fall (C major) free,
For the (F major) pretty little (C major) flower
And the (D major) great (G major) oak (C major) tree.
Said she, he loved me never,
never did that great oak tree,
But I'm (G major) neither rich nor clever,
And so why should (C major) he?
But though fate or fortune (E major) sever,
Who be (A minor) con stant (F major) I'll endeavor,
(E major) I (A minor) forever and forever (E minor)
to my great (B major) oak (E minor) tree
Sing, (C major) hey, (E minor) lack (C major) aday!
(G major) (C major) Sing, (G major) hey, lackaday!
Let the (C major) tears fall free
For the (G major) pretty little flower
and the (C major) great oak tree.
Sing, hey, (F major) lackaday!
(F sharpdim) Sing hail (G major) eto thee, hail eto (C major) thee,
In (G major) contempt of (C major) thee,
For the (F major) pretty little (C major) flower
And the (D major) great (G major) oak (C major) tree.
(C major) Sing (G major) hail (C major) eto thee,
Ei, Methodeus, (G major) Methodeus, Methodeus! (G major)
