She's Like A Swallow lyrics

She's like the swallow that flies so high

She's like the river that never runs dry

She's like the sun shining on the lee shore

And I love my love and love is no more

It was out in the garden this fair maid did go

To pick the beautiful primmer rose

The more she plucked, the more she pulled

Until she had her apron full

It was out of these roses

She made a bed

A thorny pillow for her head

She lay her down, no word she spoke

Until this fair maid's heart was broke

She's like the swallow that flies so high

She's like the river that never runs dry

She's like the sun shining on the lee shore

And I love my love and love is no more
