She's like the Swallow |
She’s like a swallow that flies so high |
She’s like the river that never runs dry |
She’s like the sunshine on the lee shore |
She loves her love and love is no more |
'Tis out in the meadow this fair maid did go |
Picking the lovely primrose |
The more she plucked the more she pulled |
Until she’s got her apron full |
She climbed on yonder hill above |
To give a rose unto her love |
She gave him one, she gave him three |
She gave her heart for company |
And as they sat on yonder hill |
His heart grew hard, so harder still |
He has two hearts instead of one |
She says, young man what have you done |
How foolish, foolish you must be |
To think I loved no one but thee |
This world 's not made for one alone |
I take delight in everyone |
