[F] [Bb] Oh I'll twine with my [F] mangles and waving [Bb] black hair.
With the roses so red [F] and the lilies so [Bb] fair.

[G] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] will dance, I will [F] sing and my love [Bb] shall be gay.
I will charm every heart in his crown I [Bb] will sway.
When I was dreaming [Cm] my [Bb] idol was clay.
A portion of [F] love had [Bb] all flown away.
[F]
[Cm] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] Oh he taught me to [F] love him and promised [Bb] to love.
And to cherish me [F] over all others [Bb] above.
