[C] [G]
[D]
Once, as I rambled on my way, the leaves [G] so green,
[C]
[D] a young woman [C]
conversed with [G] Ren-a-dar.
[D]
Her hair was
[G] [D]
as red [G] as wine, and a [D] smile gazed upon her.
Did that [C] sly [B] old [G] Ren-a [D]-dar?
She said,
Kind sir, be [G] still, [D] my company
[G] forsake,
[D] for in my own opinion, I [C] fear you [G] are some
[D] rake.
Oh no, he said, no rake [G] am I in [D]
Venus' [G] train,
[D] but I'm seeking for concealment [C] all on the [G] lonesome [D] plain.
I've seen your beauty so enticing,
[Bm]
[D]
[G] so [D] it's well -garned I'll guard you all [C] on the [G] mountain's [D] high.
And if by chance you should look for me, [G] [D]
you'll not [G] mean far,
for [D] I'll be in my [Am] [D] castle, in [C] choir for [G] Ren-a-dar.
[D] Sun and dark she followed, his teeth did brightly [G] shine,
and he'll [D] ever be content.
[A] Did [C] that sly [G] old Ren-a-dar?
[D]
[A] [C]
[G] [D]
He said, no rake am I in Venus' train,
