G A♯ C Dm

(same chords as previous verse)

Nine-month blew with sleeted rain

And still he came not back again

Summoned she the hound to go

To seek him in Fennario

He came back the fated day

To find his lady gone away

Made haste to follow in her track

Where she could go but not turn back

At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay

While fast her breath did fade away

She cried out: Turn, my love, and go

I would not have you see me so

G A♯ C Dm

(instrumental break - same progression as verse)

I shall not turn, I shall not yield

Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel

That bleeds my ladys blood away

Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay

Angels sing their souls to sleep

Four winds grace their breath to keep

Up above yon garden wall

Stands the sunflower, straight and tall

HiCll by dale now musA♯t I go F
