-2*  -2*  -2* -2*-2* -4   -3   -3  3
Oh, don’t you re-mem-ber sweet Al-ice
 3   2     -3   4* -4
Ben Bolt, Sweet Al-ice
 -3    3   -2* 2   -2*
Whose hair was so brown
-3   -3   -3  -3  -3
Who wept with de-light 
-4    4   4   -4 -4   2
When you gave her a smile
 3   -4   -3   -2* -33* 3*  2    -1
And trem-bled with fear at your frown
2   2  -3    -3    -4  4* -4  -3   2
In the old church-yard in the val-ley
 2   2    -3 -3-3* -4  -4  -2*   3* 3* -3
Ben Bolt, in a cor-ner ob-scure and a-lone
 -3   3    3  -2*-2* -2*
They have fit-ted a slab 
3  -3   4*  -4  -4  2
Of the gran-ite so gray
-2*   3   -4 -3   -2* -33*3   2   -2*
And sweet Al-ice lies un-der the stone
 -3   3    3  -2*-2* -2*
They have fit-ted a slab 
3  -3   4*  -4  -4  2
Of the gran-ite so gray
-2*   3   -4 -3   -2* -33*3   2   -1
And sweet Al-ice lies un-der the stone
