   Em          D
If I where a minstrel 
     C*            Bm
I'd sing you six love songs 
    Em              Bm
to tell the whole world of 
     Em   Em  D   Em
the love that we share

If I where a merchant
I'd bring you six diamonds 
With six blood red roses 
For my love to wear
    G        D          Em           Bm
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
     Em         Bm        Em   Em   D    Em
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
Em                                                   Em    Em  D   Em
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.


If I were a nobleman 
I'd bring you six carriages 
With six snow white horses 
To take you anywhere
if I were the emperor 
I'd build you six palaces 
With six hundred servants 
For comforting fare
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer 
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair

G  Dm  Cm  Dm  Cm  Dm   G G  F  G

G  D  Em  Bm  Em  Bm   Em Em  D  Em

If I where a minstrel 
I'd sing you six love songs 
to tell the whole world of 
the love that we share
so be not afraid, my love, 
You're never alone, love 
While you wear my ribbons 
Tie'n back your hair
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer 
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
G                  Em         C        Em       Bm        Em   Em   D   Em
Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
