Verse 1

                   C         G
I wish to the lord I’d never been born
                   D7
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes
         D7   G
Or heard your lying tongue

Verse 2

                   C        G
All the good times are past and gone
                       D7
All the good times are o’er
                   C        G
All the good times are past and gone
               D7         G
Little darling don’t weep no more

Verse 3

Don’t you see that turtle dove
                     D7
That flies from pine to pine
     G            C       G
He’s mourning for his own true love
            D7    G
Just like I mourn for mine

Verse 4

Come back come back my own true love
And stay awhile with me
For if ever I’ve had a friend in this world
You’ve been that friend to me
