| In summer months I'd fondly woo | F |
| Those merry dark eyed girls | G |
| With faces of ebon hue | F |
| And teeth like eastern pearls | G |
| One vowed my love she would repay | C |
| Her heart my song had won | D |
| When winter snows had passed away | C |
| And smiled the summer sun | D |

| A year alas had scarcely flown | H |
| Hope beamed but to deceive | I |
| Ere I was left to weep alone | H |
| From morn till dewy eve | I |
| She died one dreary break of day | C |
| Grief weighs my heart upon | J |
| In vain the snows may pass away | C |
| Or smile the summer sun | D |
| CAROL O a y e o | E |
