Gentle  leaves, gentle leaves, please  array a path  for me
 
 The wood's all growing thick and fast around
Columbine,  Columbine, please  alert this love  of mine
 Let him know his Margaret comes along
 Chorus 1 Chords:
 
 And all this stirring inside my belly won't quell my want for love
 
 And I may swoon from all this swelling but I won't want for love
 (use verse 1 chords)
 Mistle thrush, mistle thrush, lay me down in the underbrush
 My naked feet grow weary with the dusk
 Willow Boughs, Willow Boughs, make a bed to lay me down
 Let your branches bow to cradle us
 And I may swoon from all this swelling but I won't want for love
 And I may swoon from all this swelling but I won't want for love
  Oh, my own true love, oh, my own true love
Can you hear me, love? Can you hear me, love?
