_ _ [Ab] I _ [Eb] courted a wee [Ab] girl for many's [Db] the long day, [Ab] And I [Eb] slighted all [Ab] others that came in [Db] my way,
[Ab] But now [Eb] she's rewarded [Ab] me to the [Db]
last day, [Ab] She's gone [Eb] to be wed [Db] to another. _
_ _ [Ab] The bride and [Eb] bride's party, [Bb] to church they [Db] did go, [Ab] The bride [Eb] she brought foremost, [Ab] she put the [Db] best show,
[Ab] And I [Eb] followed after [Ab] with a hat for [Db]
the woe, [Ab] To see me [Eb]
the wed to [Db] another. _ _

_ [Ab] The bride [Eb] and bride's party, [Ab] in church they [Db] did stand, Gold [Ab] rings on [Eb] their fingers, [Ab] and love by [Db] the hand,
[Ab] The man [Eb] she is wed to, [Ab] he is house [Db] and land, [Ab] He may have [Eb] her, since I [Db] couldn't get her. _
_ [Ab] The next time I saw her, she was seated [Db] down late, [Ab] I sat down beside her, not a bite could [Db] I eat,
[Ab] For I thought me love's company far better [Db] than meat, [Ab] Since love was the cause of [Db] my ruin. _ _
_ The last time [Ab] I saw her, she was all dressed [Db] in white, [Ab] The more I [Eb] gazed on her, [Fm] she [Db] dazzled my sight,
They lifted [Eb] me hat, and [Ab] I bowed her, [Db] good night [Ab] is due, To all _ [Db] falsehoods and all wrongs.

[Ab] And lay [Eb] me down easy, [Fm] no more I'm [Db] found to be, [Ab] Since love [Eb] was the cause [Db] of my healing. _ _
