[Verse 1]
Far away in sunny mountains
Where the merry sunbeams play
There I wander through the clover
Singing to a village maid
[Chorus]
She was dearer than the dearest
Ever loving kind and true
And she wore beneath her bonnet
Amber tresses tied with blue
[Verse 2]
Fate decreed that we be parted
Ere the leaves of autumn fell
When two hearts are separated
That had loved each other well
She was all I had to cherish
Ever loving kind and true
Now I see in every vision
Amber tresses tied with blue
[Chorus]
