[Verse 1]
G C D7 G
I have heard the Mavis singing, his love song to the morn',
G C G D7 G
I have seen the dewdrop clinging to the rose just newly born
Em B7 Em
But a sweeter song has cheered me at the evening's gentle close,
A7 D A A7 D D7
and I've seen an eye still brighter than the dewdrop on the rose.
D7 G C Am D G
Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary, and thine artless winning smile
G C G D7 G
that has made this world an E.....den, Bonnie Mary of Argyle.
G D7 G
[Verse 2]
G C D7 G
Though thy voice may lose its sweetness,and thine eye its brightness too,
G C G D7 G
though thy step may lack its fleetness, and thy hair it's sunny hue
Em B7 Em
Still to me wilt thou be dearer than all the world shall own
A7 D A A7 D D7
I have loved thee for thy beauty, but not for that alone
G C D G
I have watched thy heart, dear Mary, and thy goodness was the wile,
G C G D7 G
that has made thee mine fore....ver Bonnie Mary of Argyle.
