Just one year ago today, love, I became your happy bride,
D7 G A D
changed a mansion for a cottage to dwell by the river side.
D A A7 D
You told me I'd be happy, but no happiness I see,
D7 G A D
for tonight I am a widow in a cottage by the sea.
D A A7 D
All alone by the seaside he left me, and no other's bride I'll be,
D7 G A D
for in bridal flowers he begged me in the cottage by the sea.
D A A7 D
From my cottage by the seaside I can see my mansion home,
D7 G A D
I can see those hills and valleys where with pleasure I have roamed.
D A A7 D
The last time that I saw him, oh how happy then were we,
D7 G A D
but tonight I am a widow in the cottage by the sea.
D A A7 D
All alone by the seaside he left me, and no other's bride I'll be,
D7 G A D
for in bridal flowers he begged me in the cottage by the sea.
