'Twas with a heart of leaden woe

Poor Alphonze went to war;

What he was fighting for

He grieved because unto Marie

He'd been but three weeks wed:

F
Marie was free if she would fain
F C
Another spouse to choose;

But if she dared to wed again
F C
Her pension she would lose
F Bb
And so to mourn she did prefer
Bb F
Amd widow to remain
F
Like many dames whose husbands were
C
Accounted with the slain
