False True Love lyrics

Come in, come in, you old true love

Can't you chat for a while with me?

For it's been three quarters

Of a long year or more

Since I spoke one word to thee

Now I shan't come in nor won't sit down

For I don't have a moment's time

And since you are now engaged

With another true love

Then your heart is no longer mine

But when you were mine, my own true love

And your head lay upon my breast

You could make me believe

All by the falling of your arm

That the sun rose up in the west

Now there's many the star shall jingle in the west

And there's many the leaf far below

And there's many the damn

That shall light upon a man

For treating a poor girl so

Now I wish to the Lord I'd never been born

Or had died when I was young

Then I never would have mourned

For my own true love

Nor have courted no other one
