Who Is At My Window Weeping

Em Bm

          Em                      Bm
Who is at my window weeping,
                  G            Bm
Weeping there so bitterly?
      C                                 Am
It's I, it's I, your own true lover
             Bm                Em
Arise, arise and pity me.


          Em                      Bm
Darling, go and ask your mother
                  G            Bm
If my wedding bride you'll be
      C                                 Am
If she says no, return and tell me.
             Bm                Em
And I'll no longer trouble thee.


          Em                      Bm
I cannot go and ask my mother
                  G            Bm
For I'm her only child and dear
      C                                 Am
Oh, darling, go and seek some other,
             Bm                Em
She whispered softly in his ear.


          Em                      Bm
And Darling, go and ask your father
                  G            Bm
If my wedding bride you'll be
      C                                 Am
If he says no, return and tell me.
             Bm                Em
And I'll no longer trouble thee.



          Em                      Bm
I cannot go and ask my father
                  G            Bm
For he lies in bed and rest
      C                                 Am
Beside him lie that silver dagger
             Bm                Em
To slay the one that I love best


          Em                      Bm
Then William took that silver dagger
                  G            Bm
And pierced it through his aching heart
      C                                 Am
I bid adieu, to all false loved ones.
             Bm                Em
I bid adieu, for now we part.


          Em                      Bm
Then Mary took the blood-stained dagger
                  G            Bm
And pierced it through her lily breast.
      C                                 Am
I bid adieu to my cruel parents.
             Bm                Em
I bid adieu, for now we rest.
      C                                 Am
I bid adieu to my cruel parents
             Bm B                Em
I bid adieu for now we rest
