^GSupper being o^Cver and all things were ^Gend^Ced ^GEvery young man was to ^Csing a fine ^Dsong Until it ^Gcame to the ^Cturn of her ^Gown foreign ^Dm7love^Cr And the song that he ^Gsang, to the ^Dbride did be^Clong ^D

"^GHow can you sit at a^Cnother man's ^Gta^Cble? ^GHow can you drink of a^Cnother man's ^Dwine? ^GHow can you ^Clie in the ^Garms of a^Dm7noth^Cer? ^GMany's the night, love, that ^Dyou lay in ^Cmine" ^D

"^GMany's the one has been ^Cseven years ^Gpar^Cted ^GSeven years par^Cted and he did return a^Dgain But ^GI have on^Cly been ^Gtwo years a^Dm7way, ^Clove ^GTwo years away, love, and ^Ddid return a^Cgain" ^D

The ^Gbride, she was seated ^Cat the head of the ^Gta^Cble ^GVery well she knew to whom the ^Csong did be^Dlong Then her ^Gheart, it grew ^Cfaint, she could ^Gstand it no ^Dm7long^Cer ^GDown at the feet of the ^Dbridegroom she ^Cfell

^GSobbing and sighing she ^Crose from the ^Gta^Cble ^GSobbing and sighing she ^Cwent to her ^Dbed ^GEarly next morn^Cing the ^Gbridegroom a^Dm7wake^Cned He ^Gturned to embrace her and ^Dfound she was ^Cdead
