G C D  C G D G
 
    G         C      D       G
The wind doth blow today, my love,
  C         G        D
A few small drops of rain.
G            D       G        C
Never have I had but one true love,
   G         D      G
In cold clay she is lain.
 
     G     C        D       G
I'll do as much for my true love,
   C         G   D
As any young man may.
     G       D         G      C
I'll sit and mourn all on her grave,
  G            D     G
A twelve month and a day.
 
    G            C     D        G
The twelve month and a day been gone,
  C           G        D
A voice spoke from the deep.
     G     D        G     C
"Who is it sits all on my grave.
    G        D      G
And will not let me sleep?"
 
     G       C        D        G
'Tis I, 'tis I, thine own true love,
    C     G        D
Who sits upon your grave,
      G         D         G          C
For I crave one kiss from your sweet lips,
    G       D     G
And that is all I seek.
 
     G         C            D         G
"You crave one kiss from my clay cold lips,
    C            G      D
But my breath is earthy strong.
G           D                 G    C
Had you one kiss from my clay cold lips,
     G          D      G
Your time would not be long"
 
   G       C        D       G
My time be long, my time be short,
  C      G    D
Tomorrow or today,
G          D           G      C
May God in heaven have all my soul
         G         D       G
But I'll kiss your lips of clay.
 
    G       C      D      G
See down in yonder garden green,
C              G       D
Love, where we used to walk.
    G        D           G    C
The sweetest flower that ever grew,
   G        D      G
Is withered to the stalk.
 
    G        C        D       G
The stalk is withered dry, my love,
C           G        D
So will our hearts decay.
   G        D       G        C
So make yourself content, my love,
     G           D    G
Till death calls you away."
