   Em      Bm
They came down from the mountain
    Em              Bm
They?d strayed too long from the fountain
Em
And all the while
Em        Bm
All the while they longed for us

Till the water's all long gone

Em        Bm
And you, my sweet flower
Em              Bm
And how you grew more sweet by the hour
Em
And loathe was I
Em          Bm
Loathe was I to lose you
Bm    Em
My tender rose
 Bm   Em
My limber rose
 Bm   Em   Bm
My slender loping daughter

Bm    Em
My tender rose
 Bm   Em
My slender rose
 Bm   Em   Bm
My limber loping daughter
    D       A   Em
But my daughter?s long, long gone
