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

Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea
3m 2m
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free
3m 2m
Lost upon the ocean, he died there in the mist
5
Dreaming of a kiss
1 5
But now the Bitter Green is gone, the hills have turned to rust
3m 2m
There comes a weary stranger whose tears fall in the dust
3m 2m
Kneeling by the churchyard, in the autumn mist
5
Dreaming of a kiss
