She hadn't pulled a [F] rose, a rose, a rose, but only one, [C] when then appeared him, young [Bb] Tamlyn, since [C] lady let alone.
[Dm] What makes you pull the [C] rose, the [F] rose?

[D] And four and twenty gentle [F] men, playing at the chess, [C] and Janet goes among them all, [Bb] as [C] green as any [Dm] glass.
And up in spoke her [E] father, [F] he spoke in meek and mild, oh [G] alas my daughter, [Bb] I fear [C] you go with [Dm] child.
And is it to a man [F] of might, or to a man of means, [C] or who among my gentlemen [Bb] shall give [A] the babe his [Dm] name?
Oh _ father if I go [F] with child, this much to you I'll [C] tell, there's none among your gentlemen [Bb] that I would [C] treat so well.
[Dm] And father if I go with [F] child, I must bear the blame, [C] there's none among your [Bb] gentlemen shall give the babe [D] his name.

Says the [Am] lady, pull no [D] more, what makes you pull the [F] poison rose?
What makes you break [C] the tree?
What makes you harm the little babe [Bb] that I have got [C] with me?
[Dm] Oh I will pull the rose, [F] Tamlin, I will break the tree, [C] but I'll not bear the little babe [Bb] that you [C] have got with me.
If he were to a gentleman, [F] not a wild shade, [C]
I'd rock him all the winter's night [Bb] and all [Am] the summer's [D] day.
