Oh lady mine, come down

Verse 2 (same chords)
She will not come I know her well
Of lover's vows she hath no care
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair
Bridge
True love is but a woman's toy
They never know their lover's pain
And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain
Must love in vain
Chorus 2X
Ending:
strum C, Cm, end on G
