Abroad as I was walking one evening in the spring
                            Am          Em                  Dm
I heard a maid in Bedlam so sweetly for to sing
                                            Am
Her chains she rattled on her hands
dm                 em (or am , depending on how you feel like singing that note)
And thus replied she, 
Dm                 Am          Em          Dm   Am   Dm
?I love my love because I know my love loves me?
Dm                     Am                  Dm       Am     Dm
Oh cruel were his parents who sent my love to sea
                              Am                   Em                       Dm
And cruel was the sailing ship that bore my love from me
                                  Am
Yet I love his parents since they're his 
Dm                                 Em
Although they've ruined me
Dm                  Am         Em           Dm  Am    Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me
Dm                              Am             Dm         Am          Dm
With straw I'll weave a garland, I'll weave it wondrous fine
                           Am            Em        Dm
With roses, lilies, daisies I'll mix the eglantine
                            Am                    
And I'll present it to my love
Dm                             Em 
When he returns from sea
Dm                 Am         Em            Dm  Am    Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me
Dm                          Am                  Dm       Am         Dm
Just as she sat there weeping, her love, he came on land
                                      Am            Em                         Dm
Then hearing she was in Bedlam he ran straight out of hand
                          Am
He flew into her snow-white arms, 
Dm                     Em
And thus replied he,
Dm                  Am          Em           Dm  Am   Dm
"I love my love because I know my love loves me"
Dm                                 Am                     Dm         Am    Dm
She said, "My love, don't frighten me, are you my love or no?"
                                Am        Em               Dm
"Oh yes, my dearest Nancy, I am your love also
                          Am
I am returned to make amends 
Dm             Em
For all your injury
Dm                 Am           Em          Dm  Am    Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me
Dm                 Am           Em          Dm  Am    Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me""
