Was [G]one night in [C]Spring,
with [F]stars in the [G]sky.
When a [F]young girl called [C]Molly,
put a [A#]gleam in my [D]eye.
Her [G]hair was like [C]raven,
her [F]smile, from the [G]sun.
[G]April was the [F]month,
our [C]romance [G]begun.
[G] [F] [C] [G]
Each [G]evening we'd [C]meet,
when [F]working was [G]through.
We'd [F]walk in the [C]meadows,
where no [A#]others went [D]to.
[G]Laughing and [C]talking,
we [F]had so much [G]fun.
[G]April was the [F]month,
that my [C]romance [G]begun.
[G] [F] [C] [G]
One [G]day when I [C]met her,
she said a [F]wrong had been [G]done.
Oh [F]Johnny, dear [C]Johnny,
I'm to [A#]bear you a [D]son.
With [G]tears in her [C]eyes,
no [F]smile from the [G]sun.
[G]April was the [F]month,
Oh my [C]romance [G]begun.
[G] [F] [C] [G]
The [G]church bell rang [C]out.
The greatest [F]day of my [G]life.
For the [F]raven haired [C]Molly,
I [A#]took for my [D]wife.
In the [G]fall of that [C]year,
A [F]baby she was [G]born.
[G]But Molly, dear [F]Molly,
never [C]saw her young [G]one.
[G] [F] [C] [G]
The [G]ground it was [C]cold,
as the [F]wind blew all [G]around.
As my [F]raven haired [C]Molly,
was [A#]laid in the [D]ground.
Her [G]daughter was [C]waiting,
for her [F]mother to [G]come.
[G]April was the [F]month,
my [C]romance [G]begun,
