Verso 1:D G/B D
On the banks of trilliums my lovin’ I did lay
G/B D Em G
and I took out my guitar and a tune for her I’d play
D G/B D
In the middle of a tune, I stopped and I did say,
G Em D
Oh Misha oh Misha would you leave me?
Verso 2:D G/B D
Oh when you were a girl, did you hear your father say
G/B D Em G
that he’d rather see you dead than buried in the clay
D G/B D
Sooner than be married to any runaway
G Em D
by the lovely sweet banks of trillium
Verso 3:D G/B D
Oh Misha I’m no runaway, and soon I’ll let them know
G/B D Em G
I can take the good hard work, and never will I go
D G/B D
For the music doesn’t need me, at another shallow show,
G Em D
no day will I go roving to another
Verso 4:D G/B D
I should leave it all behind, never to return again,
G/B D Em G
for the cities they won’t mind, and I’ve nothing for to say
D G/B D
And I’m not true love, we’ll sit and we will play,
G Em D
on the lovelyyyyy sweet banks of trillium
