[Am]
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning, [G] her hair flowing in the [Am] midwinter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking and [G] destruction lay around me.

[Am] [G] [Am]
She asked me name, I pulled it, I said the need within some men [G] to fight and kill their brother.
[Am] I thought of a love of God, I begged her, kiss me, horse it, trample down my enemy.
[G] So eager was my passion to [Am] devour this witch of life.
[G] [Am]
[G] [Am] But she would not make a battle that reduces men to animals [G] so easy to pick and end, [Am] impossible to win.
For she, the mother of all men, counseled me so wisely [G] that I feared to walk alone [Am] again
and asked if she would stay.
Ah, [G] [Am]
ah, ah, [Em] [Am]
oh lady, lend your hand, I cried, oh let me rest here at your side.
[G] Have faith and trust in me, she said, [Am] and built her heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconceptions, [G] but when you need me, be [Am] assured
I won't be far away.
Ah, ah, ah, [G] oh
[Am] [G] lady, [Am]
lend your hand, I cried, oh let me rest here at your side.
Just having spoke, she turned away, and though I found no words to say, [G] I stood and watched
on till I saw [Am] her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not [G] my new heart.
But each time I think [Am] upon that witty lady, and if one day she comes to you, repeat me
from her words so [G] wise, take courage from her as your [Am] prize and say hello for me.
