.   A                        G            A
 My young love said to me my mother won't mind
.       G            A              G            A
 And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind
.        G             A         G               A
 And she laid her hand on me and this is she did say
.   G           A                G           A
 It will not be long, love, till our wedding day
 
 
.        A                            G                 A
 And she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
.    G        A                G             A
 And fondly I watched her move here and move there
.    G               A             G         A
 And then she turned homeward with one star awake
.       G           A             G        A
 Like a swan in the evening moves over the lake
 
 
.    A                         G         A
 The people were saying no two e'er were wed
.    G         A           G         A
 But one had a sorrow that never was said
.        G             A                  G             A
 And she smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear
.    G            A           G         A
 And that was the last that I saw of my dear
 
 
 
.     A                       G              A
 Last night she came to me my dead love came in
.   G          A             G            A
 So softly she came that her feet made no din
.        G             A         G               A
 And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
.       G           A                G           A
 Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day
