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

C                  F
Hey Nonny Nonny oh Hey Nonny Nonny
                   C
Hey Nonny Nonny oh Hey Nonny Nonny

C
Into a slumber then I fell
      F
when fond imagination
C
Seemed to see but could not tell
      F
the feature or her fashion
C
But even as babes in dreams do smile
      F               Am
and sometimes fall a weeping
   F C F     C  F         G
so I awaked as wise this while
   F               G
as when I fell a-sleeping

C                  F
Hey Nonny Nonny oh Hey Nonny Nonny
                   C
Hey Nonny Nonny oh Hey Nonny Nonny
