[Verse 1]
D D
One evening as I rambled,
G C
Among the leaves so green,
D D
I overheard a young woman,
C G D
Converse with Reynardine.
[Verse 2]
D D
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue,
G C
Her lips were red as wine,
D D
And he smiled to gaze upon her,
C G D
Did sly bold Reynardine.
[Verse 3]
D D
She said, "Kind sir be civil,
G C
My company forsake,
D D
For to my own opinion,
C G D
I fear you are some rake."
[Verse 4]
D D
"Oh no," he said "no rake am I,
G C
Brought up in Venus train,
D D
But I'm searching for concealment,
C G D
All on the lonesome plain."
[Verse 5]
D D
"Your beauty so enticed me,
G C
I could not pass it by,
D D
So it's with my gun I'll guide you,
C G D
All on the mountains high."
[Verse 6]
D D
And if perchance you look for me,
G C
Perhaps you'll no me find.
D D
For I'll be in my castle,
C G D
Inquire for Reynardine.
[Verse 7]
D D
Sun and dark she followed him,
G C
His teeth so white did shine,
D D
And he led over the mountains.
C G D
Did sly bold Reynardine.
