_ [Bm] And [A] word is spreading _ [Bm] all over the land That she's been [A] _ betrayed [Bm] by her [A] own dear brother
That he has [Am] chosen another fair _ hand _ _ Many a man had sung of her beauty _ _
[A] And many a grand deed for her had been done But within her sides be carried
The child of [Am] her _ father's _ youngest, _ fairest son _ _
Tell to me no lies, tell to me [A] no _ stories _ But saddle my good horse and I'll go and see
My own true love, if your words be true ones Then that will mean the end of _ me _ _
Brother, oh brother, what _ lies be these ones?
_ They say, oh love, to [Bm] another I lose
[Am] There's a child within me of thy very own lineage And I know it's I [A] that thou wouldst _ _ choose
And have yet told your father or _ mother _ _ _ All that thou hast [Bm] told here [Am] to me?
And he's taken off his [D] good [Am]-fraided sword That's hanging _ down _ beside his knee
_ No, I've not told no one but you, my dear one [A] _ For it's a secret between _ us two
And I would come home and quit all my wrongs And spend my days only waiting on _ you _
Too late, _ too late for change, my sister _ _ My father has chosen another fair bride
And he's stabbed her easy and lovingly lay her Down in her grave by the greenwood side
_ And when he's come home to his [Am] own wedding _ feasting _ And his father [A] asks why he's weeping also
He _ said, such a bride as I've seen on this morning [Am] Never _ _ another _ man shall know _ _ _ _
