[Intro] Cadd9 G/B D [Verse 1]
    D                 G
One evening as I rambled,

  D                 G
Among the leaves so green,

  D
I overheard a young woman,

     Cadd9     G/B    D
Converse with Reynardine.
[Verse 2]
    D                             G
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue,

    D              G
Her lips as red as wine,

        D
And he smiled to gaze upon her,

          Cadd9     G/B    D
Did that sly, bold Reynardine.
[Verse 3]
    D                      G
She said, "Kind sir, be civil,

    D          G
My company forsake,

    D
For in my own opinion,

   Cadd9    G/B      D
I fear you are some rake."
[Verse 4]
    D                        G
"Oh no," he said "no rake am I,

  D                   G
Brought up in Venus' train,

         D
But I'm seeking for concealment,

       Cadd9       G/B    D
All along the lonesome plain."
[Verse 5]
      D              G
"Your beauty so enticed me,

   D                G
I could not pass it by,

         D
So it's with my gun I'll guard you,

     Cadd9     G/B     D
All on the mountains high."
[Verse 6]
     D                               G
And if by chance you should look for me,

    D                  G
Perhaps you'll not me find.

     D
For I'll be in my castle,

     Cadd9       G/B  D
Inquire for Reynardine.
[Verse 7]
 D                         G
Sun and dark she followed him,

     D                  G
His teeth did brightly shine,

        D
And he led her over the mountains.

         Cadd9     G/B    D
Did that sly, bold Reynardine
