Her lips are like a rose so fair

I love the ground whereon she stands

And how I wish the day would come
             F     G     F
When she and I can be as one

I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
     F      G          Am
Satisfied I never will sleep
                 F              G         Am

           F          G        Am
And suffer death, ten thousand times
