None of them
G D
In a pine treated grave by the river,
G
where the nightingale sings sad and low,
C G
all alone lies a Saint Regis maiden,
D G
who did sing this sad song years ago.
G D
Never more will my heart fill with gladness,
G
as I stroll through the forest again,
C G
for to prison they've taken my lover,
D G
that's why my poor heart's full of pain.
G D
When in prison you’re dying from sorrow,
G
I hope you'll recall those last days,
C G
that together we spent in this valley,
D G
and the vows that we've shared on its quay.
G D
Oh, if I could but burn down that prison
G
to steal you away for awhile,
C G
they could carry me off to the gallows,
D G
and I'd go to my doom with a smile.
G D
When the moon is high in the heavens,
G
and the mountains do gleam in its light,
C G
how often I'll dream of you, sweetheart,
D G
as I mourn there alone in the night.
G D
There will be a green grave in the forest,
G
and people when passing that way
C G
will think of that Saint Regis maiden,
D G
as she lies there alone in the clay.
G D
A shadow has crossed o'er the valley,
G
where once only sunshine did reign,
C G
but wherever life's pathway may lead me,
D G
I shall ever remember our dream.
G D
In the future someday I will meet you,
G
on the bright shore so far from this world,
C G
and there before God I will greet you,
D G
that's the dream of the Saint Regis girl.
