VERSE 2: C Her hair was dark in color F C Her cheeks were rosy red F C Upon her breast she wore white lilies G Where I longed C To lay my head VERSE 3: C Oh, at my heart you are my darlin' F C At my door you're welcome in F C At my gate I'll always meet you G For you're the girl C I tried to win VERSE 4: C I'd rather be in some dark holler F C Where the sun refuse to shine F C Than for you to be another man's darlin' G And to know C You'll never be mine OUTRO: C F C F C G C
