C                               G            C
She looked out of the window as white as any milk
C                                 G            C
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
    F               G
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
     C      G       C
That I have kept so long
    C      G     C
I'd rather die a maid
        C                    F                G
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
        G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
C    G     C
Coal black smith
F        G      C
A maiden I will die

C                    G               C
She became a duck, a duck all on the stream
C               F             G                C
And he became a water dog and fetched her back again

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith

You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
     C      G       C
That I have kept so long
    C      G     C
I'd rather die a maid
        C                    F                G
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
        G
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
C    G     C
Coal black smith
F        G      C
A maiden I will die

C                    G               C
She became a star, a star all in the night
C               F                G                  C
And he became a thundercloud and muffled her out of sight

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
    F               G
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
     C      G       C
That I have kept so long
    C      G     C
I'd rather die a maid
        C                    F                G
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
C    G     C
Coal black smith
F        G      C
A maiden I will die

C                    G               C
She became a rose, a rose all in the wood
C               F              G                    C
And he became a bumble bee and kissed her where she stood

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
    F               G
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
     C      G       C
That I have kept so long
    C      G     C
I'd rather die a maid
        C                    F                G
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave

A maiden I will die

C                   G                  C
She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white
C               F                  G                 C
And he became a canting priest and prayed for her by night

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
    F               G
You have done me no harm
G
You never shall have my maidenhead
     C      G       C
That I have kept so long
    C      G     C
I'd rather die a maid
        C                    F                G
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave

She became a trout, a trout all in the brook
C               F                 G                    C
And he became a feathered fly and catched her with his hook

[Chorus]
C                              G          C
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith

A maiden I will die

C                      G                 C
She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground
C                   F                  G                 C
And he became a the cold dark clay and smothered her all around
