Amber Tresses
Far away in sunny 4 mountains
1 Where the merry sunbeams 5 play
1 There I wandered through the 4 clover
5 Singing to a village 1 maid
Chorus
5 She was dearer than the 1 dearest
Ever loving kind and 5 true
1 And she wore beneath her 4 bonnet
5 Amber tresses tied in 1 blue
Fate decreed that we be parted
Ere the leaves of autumn fell
Then two hearts were separated
That had loved each other well
She was all I had to cherish
Ever loving king and true
Now I see in every vision
Amber tresses tied in blue
