Oh the young woman stumbled and finally she fell
C Am F
And her husband he cried out in the anguish of hell
C G Am F
As he held her close to him, in a moment of grace
C F G C
A hound moved beside them and licked at her face.

But his sweetheart was smiling as she slowly came round
C G Am F
Oh I had a dream, I had made heaven&rsquo s gate
