[Verse]
   G                  D       C            D
My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind
       C            D              G            D
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
        C                 D      G            D
And she stepped away from me and this she did say
    G           D                C           D
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

[Verse]
    G            D               C                D
She stepped away from me and she went through the fair
    C        D                G              D
And fondly I watched her move hither, move there
        C              D             G         D
And she turned her way homeward with one star awake
       G           D             C        D
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake
