|
I once had a true love and I loved him so well |
|
I loved him far better than my tongue can tell |
|
And I thought that he spoke and to me did say |
|
"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day" |
|
If I were an eagle and had wings for to fly |
|
I would fly to his castle and there I would lie |
|
On a bed of green laurel I would lay myself down |
|
And with my fond dreams I would my love surround |
|
I dreamt last night that my true love came in |
|
So slowly he came that his feet made no din |
|
And I thought that he spoke and to me did say |
|
"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day" |
