[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am
She was a lass from the low country
Em Am
And he was a lord of high degree
Em Am
And she loved his lordship so tenderly
[Chorus]
Em B
Sing sorrow, sing sorrow
Em D
And she sleeps in the valley
C B
Where the wildflowers nod
Am Em
Nobody knows she loved him
C D Em
But herself and God
[Verse 2]
Em Am
One day when the show was on the mead
Em Am
He passed her by on a milk white steed
Em Am
She waited as he passed but he paid no heed
[Chorus]
Em B
Sing sorrow, sing sorrow
Em D
And she sleeps in the valley
C B
Where the wildflowers nod
Am Em
Nobody knows she loved him
C D Em
But herself and God
[Verse 3]
Em Am
She kept her love so deep inside
Em Am
There told her soul to the day she died
Em Am
And the lonely lord never took a bride
[Chorus]
Em B
Sing sorrow, sing sorrow
Em D
And she sleeps in the valley
C B
Where the wildflowers nod
Am Em
Nobody knows she loved him
C D Em
But herself and God
[Verse 4]
Em Am
So if you be a lass from the low country
Em Am
Don't love no lord of high degree
Em Am
For they ain't got no heart or sympathy
[Chorus]
Em B
Sing sorrow, sing sorrow
Em D
And she sleeps in the valley
C B
Where the wildflowers nod
Am Em
Nobody knows she loved him
C D Em
But herself and God
