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.
