Key of E
5
[Maybelle puts a capo on the 4th fret
6
and plays as if in the key of C using
7
the following chords]:
8
[C] Oh, I'll twine with my mingles
9
And [G] waving black [C] hair
10
With the roses so red
11
And the [G] lilies so [C] fair;
12
And the myrtle so [C7] bright
13
With the [F] emerald [C] dew
14
The pale and the leader
15
And [G7] eyes look like [C] blue.
16
Instrumental
17
Oh I'll dance, I will sing
18
And my life shall be gay.
19
I will charm every heart,
20
In his crown I will sway.
21
When I woke from my dreaming,
22
My idols was clay
23
All portions of love had all flown away.
24
Instrumental
25
Oh he taught me to love him
26
And promised to love
27
And to cherish me over
28
All others above.
29
How my heart is now wond'ring
30
No misery can tell.
31
He's left me no warning,
32
No words of farewell.
33
Instrumental
34
Oh, he taught me to love him
35
And called me his flower
36
That was blooming to cheer him
37
Through life's dreary hour.
38
Oh, I long to see him
39
And regret the dark hour
40
He's gone and neglected
41
This pale wildwood flower.
