            G

1. We parted by the riverside,

              D                                             G

    the moon looked down on you and me.

              G

    The stars put on a look of pride,

           D                                  G

    the river murmured to the sea.

 

              C                                        G

    The dew drop kissed a blushing rose,

                                        D

    the mournful wind did sigh.

               G

    One word broke nature's sweet repose,

             D                             G

    that sad word was goodbye.

 

        G

Oh, tell me that you love me yet,

       D                                       G

for, oh, this parting gives me pain.

              G

Please, tell me that you'll not forget,

       D                                G

for we may never meet again.

2. We parted by the riverside,

                D                                       G

    though I have roamed in distant climes,

             G

    my heart has not forgot its pride,

         D                                    G

    for I have loved you all the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           C                              G

    And I am faithful to you still,

                                     D

    as long as you are true.

            G

    Let day each bring to me what it will,

            D                      G

    for I love you, only you.

 

        G

Oh, tell me that you love me yet,

       D                                       G

for, oh, this parting gives me pain.

              G

Please, tell me that you'll not forget,

       D                                G

for we may never meet again.
