[Verse]
D G D G A widow was walking all by the millstream D A D G A young man he saw her and started to dream D A D G A He dreamed of her beauty, he dreamed of her love D G D G And he had a thought, he had a thought D C G A D G D G He had a thought how to have her
[Verse]
D G D G He's crept up beside her and softly he said D A D G Come lie down beside me and don't be afraid D A D G A I'll love you and please you and be your tonight D G D G And drive out all cares, and drive out all cares D C G A D G D G And drive out all cares 'til the morning
[Verse]
D G D G "No, no", said the widow, she stood in surprise D A D G But his words they had warmed her and brightened her eyes D A D G A His dream pressed around them, he kissed her awhile D G D G And then they lay down, and then they lay down D C G A D G D G And then they lay down in the evening
[Verse]
D G D G In the cooler light of morning, he woke from the dream D A D G He saw the sad widow in her weeds, dark and mean D A D G A His fickle love vanished in the blink of an eye D G D G And he's wandered away, he's wandered away D C G A D G D G He's wandered away to some other
[Verse]
D G D G So come all you women that hunger for love D A D G Don't listen to dreamers, for sadly it's true D A D G A That dreams are as nothing, they fade with the dawn D G D G And can't be recalled, and can't be recalled D C G A D G And can't be recalled in the morning D C G A D G D G D And can't be recalled in the morning
