Amber Tresses Tied In Blue

Far away in sunny mountains

Where the merry sunbeams play 

There I wandered thru the clover 

Singing to a village maid 

    She was dearer than the dearest 

    Ever loving kind and true 

    And she wore beneath her bonnet 

    Amber tresses tied in blue 

Fact 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 

Every loving king and true 

Now I see in every vision 

Amber tresses tied in blue
