-3*  -4  5  7*__  7  -6  7*  7  -6_  -6__
Poor Butterfly 'neath the blossoms waiting;
-5*  -2*  3  -5*__  -2*  3  -5*  -5  -5__
Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so.
5  -2*  3  -5  5  -5  5__
The moments pass into hours,
-3*  -3  -3*  -6  -5*  -6  -5*__
The hours pass into years,
5  -5  -5*  7  -6  7  -6__  -5*  -4  5   -6__
And as she smiles through her tears, she murmers low,

-3*  -4  5  7*__  7  -6  7*  7  -6_  -6__
The moon and I know that he'll be faithful;
-5*  -2*  3  -5*_  -2*  3  -5*  -5  -5__
I'm sure he'll come back, by and by.
5  3  3*  -3*  5  -7*__  7*  7  -7*  7*  7*  -6*  7  -5__
But if he don't come back, then I never sigh or cry--
-5*  3  -5  5__  -3  -3*  7*  7  -5*__
I just must die." Poor Butterfly.
