This love ballad was written way back in the 1780's! The Richmond of this song is the market town in North Yorkshire not Surrey! Verse 1
G                      D                 G                     D
On Richmond Hill there lives a lass more bright than a May-day morn

      G                 D                G       D      G 
Whose charms all others maids' surpass a rose without a thorn

     D                                            G          D
This lass so neat with smiles so sweet has won my right good will

D                              
I'd crowns resign to call thee mine

D     G       D        G
