Lyrics and Chords
[1] For many years I've been a rolling stone my [4] darlin' Like a [1] gypsy I have roamed from place to [5] place Fortune [1] never came to me how [4] happy I would be Just to [1] look again [5] upon your smiling [1] face
Now if I should wander back tonight would you be waitin' Would your eyes be filled with love's own tender light Would your arms be empty dear would you thrill to find me near Would you love me if I wandered back tonight
When budding flowers lend their fragrance in the springtime I recall the roses twining 'round your door Fancy then I homeward stray I seem to hear you say That you love me as you did in days of yore
Last night I dreamed that you and I were back together I held your hand so gently in my own Heard you say we'd never part as I pressed you to my heart Then I woke in tears to find myself alone
