[Verse 1]
A
A young gentleman came riding past,
E
on a snow blue winter's day
A
He asked to drink by our fire
E
and I was pleased to let him stay.
A
He drank there quietly for a while,
E
and then he turned and said to me :
A E
"Your eyes are green like summer grass,
A E
your lips are red, like a fresh cut rose.
A E
Your hair is soft, like an Irish stream,
A E
and your voice is filled with sweet beauty."
[Chorus]
D
And the last words I heard him say
A D E A
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
[Verse 2]
A
And the night will come, but I won't sleep,
E
as I watch the stars that lead him.
A
I cannot place where he is,
E
but still my heart goes with him,
A
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
E
for the day that I'll be leaving.
A E
Father knows, my sister knows,
A E
and my friends, they're happy for me.
A. E
And the priest he says, you should thank God,
A E
for the blessing, of such beauty.
[Chorus]
D
And the last words I heard him say
A D E A D
were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.

" I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
