-3 -6*  6 -6* -5    -6*
I once had a sweet-heart,
 6  -5 -6* -8   -7
But now I have none
 -7   -7  -7   -7   -8  -7
He’s gone and he’s left me
-6* -5  -6* -6*  6
To weep and to mourn
 -3   -6*  6  -6*   -5 -6*
He’s gone and he’s left me
 6  -5  -6* -8 -7
For oth-ers to see
-7   -7   -7   -8  -8 -8  -7
But I’ll soon find an-oth-er
-6* -5  -6*  6   -5
Far bet-ter than he
 -6*    6   -6* -5  -6*
Green grows the lau-rel
 6   -5   -6*  -8  -7
And soft falls the dew
-7  -7 -7 -8-7 -6*   -5  -6*  -6*  6
Sor-ry was I  love, part-ing from you
-3 -6*  6   -6*  -5  -6*
But at our next meet-ing
6  -5   -6*    -8    -7
I hope you’ll prove true
-7   -7    -7  -7   -7   -8  -7
And we’ll join the green lau-rel
-6* -6* -5  -6* 6   -5
And the vio-let so blue
