     Em            Bm
They came down from the mountain
       Em                            Bm
They’d strayed too long from the fountain
Em          
And all the while
Em                Bm
All the while they longed for us


Bm            Em
But I won't betray 
    Bm       Em
No I won't betray
     Bm      Em       Bm
No I won't betray our water
Bm           Em
No I won't betray
    Bm       Em
No I won't betray
    Bm       Em       Bm
No I won't betray our water
         D       A        Em
Till the water's all long gone

(Intro)

Em               Bm
And you, my sweet flower
Em                            Bm
And how you grew more sweet by the hour
Em   
And loathe was I
Em                   Bm
Loathe was I to lose you
Bm       Em
My tender rose
  Bm     Em
My limber rose
  Bm      Em      Bm
My slender loping daughter

Bm       Em
My tender rose
  Bm     Em
My slender rose
  Bm     Em      Bm
My limber loping daughter
        D             A      Em
But my daughter’s long, long gone
