When I Was in My Prime |
When I was in my prime |
I flourished like a vine |
There came along a false young man |
That stole the heart of mine |
That stole the heart of mine |
The gardener standing by Three offers he made to me The pink, the violet and red rose |
Which I refused all three |
Which I refused all three |
The pink’s no flower at all |
For it fades away too soon |
And the violet is too pale a hue |
I think I’ll wait 'til June |
I think I’ll wait 'til June |
In June the red rose blooms |
That’s not the flower for me For then I’ll pluck the red rose off |
And plant a willow tree |
And plant a willow tree |
And the willow tree shall weep |
And the willow tree shall whine |
I wish I was in the young man’s arms |
That stole the heart of mine |
That stole the heart of mine |
If I’m spared for one year more |
And God should grant me grace |
I’ll weep a bowl of crystal tears |
To wash his deceitful face |
To wash his deceitful face |
