Intro:  C G D D 

    D             D
One evening as I rambled,
  G                 D
Among the leaves so green,
  D                 D
I overheard a young woman,
   C            G     D
Converse with Reynardine.
 
    D                   D
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue,
    G                D
Her lips were red as wine,
       D               D
And he smiled to gaze upon her,
    C       G      D
Did sly old Reynardine. 

    D                     D
She said, "Kind sir be civil,
    G          C  
My company forsake,
    D            D
For to my own opinion,
   C       G        D
I fear you are some rake."

    D                D
"Oh no," he said "no rake am I,
  G                  D
Brought up in Venus train,
        D              D
But I'm searching for concealment,
     C      G        D
All on the lonesome plain."

      D              D
"Your beauty so enticed me,
   G                C
I could not pass it by,
         D                 D
So it's with my gun I'll guide you,
     C      G         D
All on the mountains high."

     D                D
And if by chance you look for me,
    G                 C
Perhaps you'll no me find.
    D               D
For I'll be in my castle,
     D         G   D
Inquire for Reynardine.

 D                D
Sun and dark she followed him,
     G                  C
His teeth so white did shine,
       D            D
And he led over the mountains.
    C           G   D
Did sly bold Reynardine.
