[Verses] C I will twine and will mingle G7 C my raven black hair C With the roses so red and G7 C the lilies so fair C F C And the myrtle so green of an emerald hue C G7 C And the pale emanita and islip so blue C Oh he promised to love me, G7 C he promised to love C G7 C And cherish me always all others above C F C I woke from my dream and my idol was clay C G7 C My passion for loving had vanished away C Oh he taught me to love him, G7 C he called me his flower C A blossom to cheer him G7 C through life's weary hour C F C But now he has gone and left me alone C The wild flowers to weep and G7 C the wild birds to moan C I'll dance and I'll sing G7 C and my life will be gay C I'll banish this weeping, G7 C drive troubles away C I'll live yet to see him F C regret this dark hour C When he won and neglected G7 C this frail wildwood flower.
