Intro: G D D7 F#m G A7
A7 Em7 D B7 G A D B7
Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and still,
G A D B7
More than the mulberries on the hill,
G A Em7 F#m D7 Em A7 G D
More than the buds on a May apple tree, I love thee.
Chorus:
G D B7 Em A A7 G D
Arms have I, strong as the oak, for this oc-ca–sion,
Fdim C#7 Edim D G D D7 F#m G A7
Lips have I, to kiss thee, too, in friendly per sua sion.

Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise,
G A D B7
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways,

Put on your bon - net, your cape, and your gloves,
G Em7 Bm7 E A7 Em7 G
And come with me, for thee I love,
