I must leave you for a season

Go out logging hardwood timber

Hardwood timber that grows so low

In the forest of Fennario

Tell me what you need to live, love

Do you ask that you might own?

Take my blue-eyed hound to guard you

I will make my way alone

If I be not back by fall

Seek me when the small sunflower

Grows above the garden wall

(same chord progression as previous verses)
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
CHORUS:
G5 Bb5 C5 D5

(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
CHORUS:
C5 Bb5 F5
Hill by dale now must I go
C5 Bb5 C5 D5
To the forest of Fennario
