Up-on the Bitter Green she walked, the hills above the town
Echoed to her footsteps, as soft as eider-down
3m 2mWaiting for her master to kiss away her tears
5Waiting through the years
CHORUS 1 4 5
Bitter Green, they called her, walking in the sun
4 5 1Loving ev'ry-one that she met____
Bitter Green they called her, waiting in the sun
4 5 1Waiting for some-one to take her home____

Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea
3m 2mSome say he was a prisoner who never was set free
Lost upon the ocean, he died there in the mist
5Dreaming of a kiss

But now the Bitter Green is gone, the hills have turned to rust
3m 2mThere comes a weary stranger whose tears fall in the dust
Kneeling by the churchyard, in the autumn mist
5Dreaming of a kiss
