D MajorD          C majorC
A augmentedA lady walked in yon wild wood,
G+G         D MajorD
Beneath the holly tree,

D MajorD            C majorC
It was there she saw two bonnie bairns,
G+G          D MajorD
There running at her knee.

D MajorD             C majorC
And the first she pulled a red, red rose,
G+G           D MajorD
With hands as soft as silk,

D MajorD             C majorC
And the next she pulled a lily pale,
G+G             D MajorD
With hands more white than milk.

D MajorD          C majorC
?Why do you pull the red, red rose,
G+G        D MajorD
And why the lily white??

D MajorD          C majorC
?We need them at the seat of grace,
G+G          D MajorD
For the soul of thee tonight.?

D MajorD          C majorC
?Oh bide with me you bonnie bairns,
G+G            D MajorD
I?ll dress you rich and fine,

D MajorD             C majorC
And for all the blackbirds in the woods,
G+G             D MajorD
You?ll eat white bread and wine."

D MajorD            C majorC
The stars were shooting to and fro,
G+G           D MajorD
But the thorns she did abhor,

D MajorD            C majorC
As the lady followed the bonnie bairns,
G+G            D MajorD
For three long hours and more.

D MajorD            C majorC
?Where do you dwell you bonnie bairns,
G+G         D MajorD
I?m woe and weary grown?,

D MajorD           C majorC
?We live where woe it never comes,
G+G         D MajorD
In a land to flesh unknown.?


D MajorD        C majorC
They came unto a tree of beech,
G+G            D MajorD
Two names carved in the bark,

D MajorD                 C majorC
?Do you see your name carved here lady,
G+G           D MajorD
The other lies in the dark.?

D MajorD              C majorC
And she wept in vain and she wept full sore,
G+G            D MajorD
For her love laid in the ground,

D MajorD           C majorC
And she wept until the stars gave way,
G+G              D MajorD
?Til the dawn it brought no sound.
