D
A
D
There's a cozy little cottage
G
D
where the morning glories clamber
And the ivy vines are
G
D
and the wild birds' notes are ringing
A
D
With hair of sunny golden
G
D
while the stars are softly shining
As she whispers,
A
D
I will love none else but you
A
D
Her brown eyes softly beaming
G
D
while the rosy hours are fleeting

Zelmalee, Zelmalee
G
D
While the rosy hours are fleeting
A
D
As I sit beside my darling Zelmalee
Like a winsome little fairy
G
D
With her steps so light and airy
A
Round the cottage she is flitting all the day
G
D
like the wild birds' notes is ringing
A
D
As it echoes in the woodland far away
A
D
Her bright eyes, softly beaming,
G
D
while the rosy hours are fleeting

Zelmalee
G
D
Zelmalee, Zelmalee
G
D
While the rosy hours are fleeting
G
D
And the mockingbird is calling
Then we often stroll together
G
D
and the wavelets seem to listen
A
D
With summer I may claim her
G
D
as the moonbeams seem to hover
D
G
And her voice is sweet and tender
A
D
Her brown eyes softly beaming
G
D
while the rosy hours are fleeting
A
D
G
As I sit beside my darling Zelmalee
G
D
While the rosy hours are fleeting
A
D
As I sit beside my darlings, Elmoldee
