[Verse 1]
                        C
I remember once that he said

   D                        G
He loved me better than his life

                             C
He called me his darling his wife

     D                      G
Then asked me to be his own bride
[Verse 2]
                        C
Oh darling he said I am sure

     D                  G
Your heart is made of a stone

                             C
He took a white rose from my hair

     D                   G
Then left me a standing alone
[Chorus]

I will ever be faithful and true

Oh Willie my darling come back

I’ll forever be faithful to you
[Instrumental] G C G D G (x2) [Verse 3]
                                C
The next fateful day Willie was dead

       D                          G
He was found in the pond near the mill

                                C
Oh the clear precious waters so fair

     D                            G
That flows from the branch of the hills
[Verse 4]
                           C
His blue eyes were forever closed

    D                   G
And damp was his golden hair

                               C
And close to his pale lips was found

          D                          G
The white rose which he took from my hair
[Outro]
                          C
Oh Willie my darling come back

       D                    G
I will ever be faithful and true

                          C
Oh Willie my darling come back

        D                   G
I’ll forever be faithful to you
