My (C)young love said (D)to me,
(C)“My she (D)moth er won’t mind, and my fa ther
won’t
(Bm)slight you for (C)your lack of (D)kind.”
And she stepped she
a way (Bm)from me and (C)this she did (D)say:
“It
the (C)will not be (D)long, love,
(C)till (D)our wed ding day.”
As she (C)stepped a way (D)from me
(C)and she (D)moved through the fair,
and my fond ly
I (Bm)watched her move (C)here and move (D)there.
And she then smiled
as turned
(Bm)home ward with (C)one star a (D)wake,
like
the (C)swan in the (D)eve ning
(C)moves (D)o ver the lake.
The she dear.
