I've been gathering flowers from the hillside
             D                                              A  
to wreath around your brow,
                                D                                                    G  
but you've kept me a-waitin' so long, dear,
                D                         A                                 D  
the flowers have all withered now.

          I know that you have seen trouble,
                        D                                                    A  
          but never hang down your head,
                          D                                                              G  
          your love for me is like the flowers,
                          D                 A              D  
          your love for me is dead.

          It was on one bright June morning,
                        D                                    A  
          the roses were in bloom,
                     D                                            G  
          I shot and killed my darling,
                          D                 A              D  
          and what will be my doom?

          Closed eyes cannot see these roses,

          closed hands cannot hold them, you know,
                                        D                                                         G  
          and these lips that still cannot kiss me
                        D                      A                         D  
          has gone from me forever more.
