I wonder what is keeping my true love this night
|
I wonder what is keeping him out of my sight
|
I wonder if he knows of the pain I endure
|
And stays from me this night I'm not sure
|
|
Oh love are you coming your cause to advance
|
Or yet are you waiting for a far far better chance
|
Are you coming for to tell me you've a new love in store
|
Or are you coming for to tell me you love me no more
|
|
For I can love lightly and I can love strong
|
I can love the old love till the new love comes on
|
I only said I loved you for to give your heart ease
|
And when I'm not with you I'll love whom I please
|
|
There's gold in my pocket and pain in my heart
|
For I can't love a man with too many sweethearts
|
You're my first and only false love but it's lately I knew
|
That the stronger I loved you the falser you grew
|
|
The spring grass grows the greenest and spring water runs clear
|
I'm sorry and tormented for the love of my dear
|
Your love it lies so lightly as the dew on the thorn
|
