I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
C G D
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
G C G
I must be guided without a stumble
C G D G
Into the arms I love the most.
C G D G
And when he came to his true love’s dwelling
C G D
He knelt down gently upon a stone
G C G
And through her window he whispered lowly
C G D G
Is my true lover within at home?
G C G D G
Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
C G D
Wake up wake up love and let me in
G C G
For I am tired love and oh so weary
G C G D G
And more than near drenched to the skin.
C G D G
She's raised her off her down soft pillow
C G D
She's raised her off and she's let him in
G C G
And they were locked in each other's arms
C G D G
Until that long night was past and gone.
G C G D G
And when that long night was passed and over,
C G D
And when the small clouds began to grow
G C G
He's taken her hand and they’ve kissed and parted
C G D G
And he saddled and mounted and away did go.
G C G D G
I must away love I can no longer tarry
C G D
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
G C G
I must be guided without a stumble
C G D G
Into the arms I love the most.
