The Sad Lover

C

Oh I’m sad and I’m lonely for my darling

G7

And I weep like I never did before

C

F

For she’s far away from me and I’m dreary as can be

C

G7

C

For I’ll never see my darling anymore

G7

And we’d wander together by the shore

C

F

Soon she gave her word to me that my blushing bride she’d be

C

G7

C

But I’ll never see my darling anymore

G7

It was fate brought a stranger to her door

C

F

With his fancy ways and grace in her heart he took my place

C

G7

C

And I’ll never see my darling anymore

G7

It was sent from a distant foreign shore

C

F

Was a letter edged in black and it said alas alas

C

G7

C

You will never see your darling anymore
