Till the Water's All Long Gone

They came down from the mountain
They strained too long from the fountain
And all the while, all the while they longed for us But I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you
I won’t betray, I won’t
No, I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you
I won’t betray, I won’t
Till the water’s all long gone
And you, my sweet flower
And how you grew more sweet by the hour
And loath was I, loath was I to lose you
My tender rose, my limber rose
my slender rolling darling
My tender rose, my slender rose
My limber rolling darling
But the darling’s long, long gone
They came down from the mountain
They strained too long from the fountain
Oh my girl, oh my love, I’ve lost you
But I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you
I won’t betray, I won’t
No, I won’t betray you, I won’t betray you
I won’t betray, I won’t
Till the water’s all long gone
