Dark is the evening, silent the [Eb] hour, [Bb] O'er who is that [F] minstrel [Cm] by yonder long tower,
[Bb] Whose [F] heart is so _ tenderly touching with [Eb] skin?
[Bb] O, who [F] could it [Bb] be but [F] young Ned of [Bb] _ _ Thee,
Who sings, [F] [Gm] Lady Love, [C] will you come with me [F] now?
_ [Bb] Come and live out with me [Eb] _ under [Cm] the bough, [F] I'll pillow your head [Bb] where the light fairies [Eb] tread,
_ [Bb] If you will but wed with young [F] Ned of [Bb] Thee.

Ned of the hill has no castle, [F]
[Eb] no hall,
[C] No bowman, no [F] spearman to come at his call,
But one little [Bb] archer of [F] exquisite [Eb] skill
[C] Has shot a bright [F] shaft for young Ned [Bb] of Thee. _ _ _
It is [F] hard to [Gm] escape from [C] this young lady's [F] power,
_ [Bb] For high is the castle [C] and guarded the tower,
But [Bb] the mind knows the way where the heart [Eb] holds the will,
[Bb] And dying is gone with [F] young Ned [Bb] of Thee. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
