You tied a love knot in my heart, dear, when you said you'd be my bride,
        F                     G                C7
oh, how well I remember as we strolled side by side.
            F                            Bb              F
Leaves were falling all around us, roses withered on the ground,
           F                                     C7         F

         F                                  Bb                 F
The only thing that I have left now is this little string I've found,
       F                                G                 C7
with a little love knot in it, that she held tight in her hand.
     F                                 Bb               F
As I stood there by your bedside, as I looked into your eyes,
            F                                    C7         F

There's a heart tonight that's lonely, there's a heart tonight that's sad
    F                                  G          C7
For God has took you from me, the best pal I ever had.
              F                             Bb               F
She's gone to sing up in heaven, God needed her there by His side,
           F                                     C7          F
