Beneath the moon tonight I kneel
C
G
Close to my darling’s side
C
G
Her eyes in death are forever closed
D7
G
My sweet and future bride
D7
G
Sweet wedding bells would softly ring
C
G
For us in June she said
C
G
But angels thought it best that we part
D7
G
And they told us today instead
D7
G
Beside some lonely river bank
C
G
Where the weeping willows grow
C
G
I’ll ease my aching heart tonight
D7
G
Down where the dark waters flow
D7
G
I planted on her new made grave
C
G
A tender rose with care
C
G
To bloom through all of the lonely years
D7
G
While she is lying there
D7
G
I’ll place one tender kiss of love
C
G
Upon that budding rose
C
G
And bid my world of cares goodbye
D7
G
Down where the dark waters flow
D7
G
Beside some lonely river bank
C
G
Where the weeping willows grow
C
G
I’ll ease my aching heart tonight
D7
G
Down where the dark waters flow
