Tonart: C minor
Verse 1
Dm
E
I courted a bunny girl,
and that is the day
Dm
E
I hated all oth ers against her desire.
Dm
E
An d now she's rewarded
Dm
E
Em
me well for my pain
E
Dm
For one she's gone to get tied to an other
E
All the week before Easter
The moon bright and clear
Dm
E
Dm
E
and quickly blew the air
Dm
E
I went down to the forest
Dm
E
Dm
to gather fine flowers
But the forest would yield me no roses
E
Oh, the first time I saw my love
Dm
It was to the church gondole bright
And the bridegroom,
Dm
And I followed after her with my heart full
E
Dm
E
Dm
For to see her get tied to another,
E
Dm
E
Or the person that married them,
Dm
E
Dm
Allow me to cry all you that forbid it,
Dm
Thought I to meself,
E
Em
I've a good reason why
Dm
E
Dm
But I had not the heart to forbid it
E
The next time I saw my love
Dm
It was in the church stand
And a gold ring on her finger,
E
and white gloves on her hand
Dm
And I thought to myself,
oh I should have been that man
E
Dm
But I never once mentioned to her
E
The last time I saw my love,
Dm
she was all dressed in white
All the tears filled my eyes,
E
white as the moon's eye
Dm
And I picked up my hat
E
and I bid her goodnight
Dm
Is it due to a false hearted true love
E
Of ladies and gentlemen
Dm
They are all asking me
A
Dm
E
how many white lilies grow in the Sunsea
Dm
And I answer them back
E
Dm
E
Dm
with a tea in my eye
E
Dm
E
Dm
How many ships sail in yon forest?
E
Dm
E
Go dig my grave, dig it long,
High in struts all over,
with flowers so sweet.
Dm
E
So the time I die down there,
E
Dm
I ain't take a long sleep
Dm
E
And maybe that way I'll forget her
