I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain

The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about

Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie
   Gm      Dm   Gm         A#     Dm      Gm
A-hugging one another, so why not you and I?
   A#                                     D
A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt

So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out

I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do

Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue

The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about
      Gm      Dm      Gm   A#        D               Gm
They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out

    Gm      Dm      Gm              A#            Dm   Gm
And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me
  Gm      Dm        Gm               A#     Dm       Gm
Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee
      A#                                          D
When my three years are over, my time it will be out

And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
