_ _ _ [Em] But where is my [D] love gone [Em] with his cheeks like roses, _ And his good black _
[D] pelican _ [Em] decked around with crimson roses?
I'm afraid [A] the [E] scorching sun [Bm] [Em] will shine and burn his [D] beauty, [Em] And if I was with [G] my [Em] love I'd do my duty. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Strange news is come [D] to town, _ [Em] strange news is carried, _ Strange news flies [D] up and down that [Em] my love is married.

_ _ _ Don't you _ [D] remember _ when you [C] lay [Bm] _
[Em] beside me, And you said you'd [D] marry me [C] and [Bm] not [Em] deny me?

[E] deny you.
