[INTRO:] Am

[VERSE 1:] 
        Em     Am    Em
She sat down below a thorn 
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley 
              G          F          Em
And there she hugged her sweet babe born 
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely

"Smile na sae sweet, my bonnie babe"
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
                 G              F        Em
"An ye smile sae sweet, ye will smile me deid"
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely

Am          Em      Am      Em
She's ta'en oot her wee pen knife
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
               G          F       Em
And twined the sweet babe o' it's life
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely


[VERSE 4:] 
      Am       Em           Am           Em
She's howket a grave by the light o' the moon
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
                G          F          Em
An' there she's buried her sweet babe in
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely


[VERSE 5:] 
   Am      Em    Am     Em
As she was going to the church
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
          G          F      Em
She saw a sweet babe in the porch
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely

"O sweet babe, an' thou wert mine"
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
                  G      F        Em
"I wad cleed thee in the silk sae fine"
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely


[VERSE 7:] 
     Am     Em         Am    Em
"Oh, mother dear, when I was thine"
Am   G              Dm Am
Fine flowers in the valley
           G         F      Em
"Ye did'na prove tae me sae kind"
        Am           E7        Am  D9  F G  Am  G  Am  G  F G  Am  G  Am  G
And the green leaves they grow rarely
