Intro :F C Dm
As IDm went out one mCorning
To breathe the aDmir arCound Tom PDmaine's
I sDmpied the fairest dCamsel
That eDmver did wCalk in cDmhains
I Foffer'Amd her my hand
She tDmook me bCy the aDmrm
I kDmnew that very iCnstant
She mDmeant to dCo me hDmarm
"DDmepart from me tChis moment"
I told her with Dmmy voCice Dm
SaiDmd she "But I don'Ct wish to"
Said IDm "But yoCu have nDmo choice."
"I Fbeg you sir" Amshe pleaded
From Dmthe cornCers of Dmher mouth
"I wDmill secretly acCcept you
And tDmogether wCe'll fDmly south."
JustDm then Tom PaineC himself
Came running froDmm acrCoss the fiDmeld
ShoDmuting at this loveCly girl
And coDmmmanding Cher to yDmield
AndF as she was letAmting go her grip
Up ToDmm Paine Cdid runDm
"I'mDm sorry sir" hCe said to me
"I'm Dmsorry forC what Dmshe's done."
