| In your mother's apple orchard | A |
| When the world was left behind | F |
| You were shy so shy Yvonne | C |

| You are over far away | N |
| There is dew on your grave grass Yvonne | C |
| But your feet it shall not wet | E |
| No you never remember Yvonne | C |
| And I shall soon forget | E |
