And she came to rest on the riverside

Oh, the wind and rain

Oh, the dreadful wind and rain

And along the road came a fiddler fair

Oh, the wind and rain

And found her bones just lying there

Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Interlude]

And he made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
He made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
Dm7 C F G
Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 10]

But the only tune that the fiddle would play
Dm7 G
Was 'Oh the Wind and Rain'
Am7 C
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Dm7 C F G
Was 'Oh, the Dreadful Wind and Rain'
