Come [Dm] all you [F] fair and [C] tender girls
That [F] flourish [G] in your [Dm] prime
[F] Beware, [G] beware
Keep your [D] garden [Am] fair
Let [Dm] no man [C] steal your [F] thyme [Em]
Let [Dm] no man [Am] steal your [Dm] thyme.
For [Dm] when your [F] thyme it is [C] past and gone
He'll [F] care no [G] more for [Dm] you
And [F] every [G] place where your [D] thyme was [Am] waste
Will [Am] all spread [C] o'er with [F] rue [Em]
Will [Dm] all spread [Am] o'er with [Dm] rue.
The [Dm] gardener's [F] son was [C] standing by
Three [F] flowers he [G] gave to [Dm] me
The [F] pink, the [G] blue, and the [D] violet [Am] true
And the [Dm] red, red [C] rosy [F] tree [Em]
And the [Dm] red, red [Am] rosy [Dm] tree.
But [Dm] I [F] refused the [C] red rose bush
And [F] gained the [G] willow [Dm] tree
That [F] all the [G] world may [D] plainly [Am] see
How [Dm] my love [C] slighted [F] me [Em]
How [Dm] my love [Am] slighted [Dm] me
