Once I loved a Mennonite girl For a while she was [G] my whole world
I think of her when the swallows fly As I make my way to the by [C] and by
I [F] did right and [C] I did wrong I met her far, far [G] from my home
Under northern lights I first kissed her hair
She stole my heart and she [C] kept it there I [F] roamed again, I [C] did right
A hollow man who [G] ached inside Love seems to come from outside time
[G] Well I knew love when she [C] was mine I [F] lost her to [C] another place _
Another's arms, [G] another's face I made a vow _ right there and then
To never let love go [C] again _ [F] Chasing dreams, [C] seeking gold
I was a young man, [G] now I'm old I learned one thing to be sure
You can't find gold and lose something [C] more I [F] never learned the [C] Mennonite ways
She's in my heart, all [G] my days I wish her peace, I wish her love
I wish her easy [C] with the rocks _ _
