Turtle dove, turtle dove, oh my [E] little turtle [A] dove,
[B] The mournful song you sing, Reminds my heart of that pretty, pretty [D] girl,
[A] Who wore [B] my little silver ring, [E]
Who wore my little [A] silver ring.
I'll plant me a red on a [E]
rosy [A] bush, [B] I'll plant me a wee willow tree,
To prove to her who come [D] this way, [A] That she has forsaken me,
[B] [E] That she has forsaken [A]
me.
When I was young and [E] I was [A] gay, [E] I loved her long [B] and well,
But the sorrow of this [D] loving brought, No [E] human tongue can [A] tell,
[E]
No human tongue can tell.
Oh, see the young, lonesome, little turtle [A] dove,
He swings on young [B] divine, Lamenting for his [D] untrue love,
[A] As I do mourn for mine, As I do mourn for mine.
Oh, hush you nest, you [E] break my heart, For no more will I cry,
Ten thousand loves have [D] parted, [A] Then why not you and [E] I?
Then why not you and I?
[A]
[B] The mournful song you sing, Reminds my heart of that pretty, pretty [D] girl,
[A] Who wore [B] my little silver ring, [E]

rosy [A] bush, [B] I'll plant me a wee willow tree,
To prove to her who come [D] this way, [A] That she has forsaken me,

me.
When I was young and [E] I was [A] gay, [E] I loved her long [B] and well,
