Come all ye maids that live at a distance |
|
Many a miles from off your swain |
|
Come and assist me this very moment |
|
For to pass away some time |
|
Singing sweetly and completely |
|
Songs of pleasure and of love |
|
For my heart is with them all together |
|
Though I live not where |
|
I loveWhen |
|
I sleep I dream about you |
|
When I wake |
|
I find no rest |
|
For every moment thinking of you |
|
My heart affixed in your breast |
|
Although far distance may be assistance |
|
From my mind his love to remove |
|
Yet my heart is with him all together |
|
Though I live not where |
|
I loveAll the world shall be one religion |
|
Living things shall cease to die |
|
If ever I prove false to my jewel |
|
Or any way my love deny |
|
The world shall change and be most strange |
|
If ever I my mind remove |
|
For my heart is with him all together |
|
Though I live not where |
|
I loveSo farewell lads and farewell lasses |
|
Now I think |
|
I've got my choice |
|
I will away to yonder mountain |
|
Where I think |
|
I hear his voice |
|
And if he calls then |
|
I will follow |
|
Though the world it is so wide |
|
For my heart is with him all together |
|
Thought I live not where |
|
I love |
