You tied a love knot in my heart, dear, when you said you'd be my bride,

oh, how well I remember as we strolled side by side.
      FF              Bb majorBb       FF
Leaves were falling all around us, roses withered on the ground,

you tied a love knot in my heart, dear, that can never be unwound.

The only thing that I have left now is this little string I've found,

with a little love knot in it, that she held tight in her hand.
   FF                 Bb majorBb        FF
As I stood there by your bedside, as I looked into your eyes,

you tied a love knot in my heart, dear, that can never be untied.

There's a heart tonight that's lonely, there's a heart tonight that's sad

For God has took you from me, the best pal I ever had.

She's gone to sing up in heaven, God needed her there by His side,
