| I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
|
| I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
|
| It’s little you know the pain I endure,
|
| Or you wouldn’t stay for only this night, I am sure.
|
| Oh, love, are you coming our cause to advance,
|
| Or love, are you coming for a far better chance,
|
| You know you have my whole life placed by yours in store,
|
| And I just can’t bare to think that I’ll see you no more.
|
| For, love, I’m coming our cause to advance,
|
| For love, I’m not waiting for a far better chance,
|
| You will always be my sweetheart of that you can be sure,
|
| Now how can they tell me that I kiss you no more.
|
| For sometimes we loved lightly, but more times we loved long,
|
| And when I think about you I know where I belong.
|
| Last night you said you loved me, and it put my world at ease,
|
| Now you’re far from me, come home darling please.
|
| Green grass it grows bonny, still waters runs clear.
|
| I am weary and lonesome for the loss of my dear.
|
| You were my first and only true love and lately I knew,
|
| That the fonder I loved you, the closer we grew.
|
| Oh I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
|
| I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
|
| It’s little you know oh the pain I endure,
|
| Or you wouldn’t stay from me this night, I am sure
|
| Or you wouldn’t stay from me this night, I am sure. |
