The one great old song


In the night, while you lay sleeping,
Dreaming of your amber skies,
Was a poor boy broken hearted,
Listening to the winds that sigh.

My little darling, oh how, I love you,
How I love you, none can tell,
In your heart you love another,
Little darling, pal of mine.

Many a day, with you I've rambled,
Happiest hours, with you I've spent,
For I had your heart forever,
But I find it's only lent.

There is just three things I wish for,
That's my casket, shroud and grave,
When I'm dead, don't weep for me,
Just like those lips that you betrayed.
