C                                    F
Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
    C                                      F
the winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
   C                                   F               Em
my wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
    F                   G*      F               G*
but better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden

C               Bb
hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
F                  C
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

C                               F
into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination
C                                    F
seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion
    C                                    F                Em
but e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping
   F                     G*       F             G*
so I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping

C               Bb
hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
F                  C
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
