[A] When the year to go [E] last Christmas came a tempter [A] to my wife, [F#m] stole the only [E] flower I'd cherry, [B] and I vowed I'd [E] have his life.
[A] In the street one [E] day I met him, in my eyes that villain [A]
grinned.
Then [F#m] the curse of pain [E] came o'er me, [B] was done that very day [E] I sinned.
Still [A] I dream as the hammer strikes [D] the anvil, [Bm] and [E] I dream as the sparks light on [A] the floor.
[E] Of [A] my little white turtle [E] dove, she's the only girl [A] I love, as [E] she stood outside that foot-hole to see [A] door.
[E] [A]
Twelve months past then came [E] my trial, in the court I saw [A] my wife, and [F#m] I heard her beg [E] for mercy, [B] when they sent him to me [E] for life.
For [A]
twelve long years I've read [E] her letter, the only comfort I [A] can tell.
When [F#m] I heard that she [E] was dying, [B] was then my lonely [E] spirit fell.
Still I [A] dream as the hammer strikes [D] the anvil, [Bm]
and [E] I dream as the sparks light on [A] the floor.
[E]
[A] Of my little white turtle [E] dove, she's the only girl [A] I love, as [E] she stood outside that foot-hole to see [A] door.
[F#]
[B] Day was night I dodged [F#] the water, o'er the prison walls [B] I sprang.
Then the [G#m] home put sore [F#] and weary, [C#]
at the breaking of [F#] the [G#m] dawn.
[F#] [B] She was glad to land [F#] to see me, in my arms that night [B] she died.
Then [G#m] the warders rushed [F#] the doorway, [C#]
and they found me there [F#] inside.
[B] Then they saw her [F#] lifeless body, and I kneeling on [B] the floor.
They [G#m] said, yes my lad [F#] we trust you, [C#]
come back when you've laid [F#] her low.
Sure [B] I dream as the hammer strikes [E] the anvil, [C#m] and [F#] I dream as the sparks light on [B] the floor.
[F#] Of [B] my little white [F#] turtle dove, she's the only girl [B] I love, as [F#] she stood outside that foot-hole to see [B] door.
