1. I remember once that he said, he loved me better than his life,
G C D D7 G
he called me his darling, his wife, then asked me to be his own bride.

G C D D7 G
he took a white rose from my hair, then left me a standing alone.

3. The next fateful Willie was dead,
D D7 G
he was found in the pond near the mill.

Oh, the clear precious waters so fair,

that flows from the branch of the hills.

4. His blue eyes were forever closed
D D7 G
and damp was his golden hair,

and close to his pale lips was found,
D D7 G
the white rose which he took from my hair.
