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
That s there in the evening and away with the dawn.
