The Lonesome Scenes of Winter |
As the lonesome scenes of winter in stormy winds to blow |
Clouds around the center inclined to frost and snow |
You’re the boy that I have chosen to be my only dear |
Your scornful heart is frozen and drifted far I fear |
One night I went to see my love, but he proved most scornfully |
I asked him if he’d marry me, but he would not marry me |
The night it is far spent, my love, it’s near the break of day |
And I’m waiting for your answer, my dear, what do you say? |
I can but plainly tell you, I 'll lead a single life |
I never thought it fitting that you should be my wife |
So take a civil answer and for yourself provide |
I have another sweetheart and you I have laid aside |
Now my mind is changing that old love for the new |
This wide and lonsome valley I mean to ramble thru' |
In search of someone handsome that might my fancy fill |
That world is wide and lonesome, if he don’t another will |
