I once had a true love,
but now I have none
She's gone and left me
and I'm all alone
She's gone and left me
content it must be
She loves another far better than me
And this green -grove laurel
so falls adieu
Sorry my love I'm parted with you
Sorry my love content it must be
She loves another far better than me
Oh, passed my love's window
both early and late
But the look that she gave me,
it did my heart break
The look that she gave me
would ten thousand kill
She loves another, but I love her still,
And it's green grove above us,
soft falls the dew.
Sorry, my love, I'm parted with you,
Sorry, my love,
contented must be,
She loves another far better than me.
Oh, I wrote her a letter in grand,
rosy lines
But the answer she sent back
was twisted and twined
You write your love letters
and I will write mine
You write to your love
and I will write mine
And this green -robed laurel,
so fuzz at you,
Sorry am I, love,
I'm parted with you.
Sorry am I, love,
contented must be,
She loves another far bet
ter than me.
Oh, I wonder,
I won der why women love men,
I wonder and ever think why they love them
Women are faithful and kind,
as you know
But men are deceivers
wherever they go
And this green -rowed allure
soft falls adieu
Sorry, my love, I'm parted with you
Sorry, my love,
con tented must be
She loves another far better than me
I once had a true love
but now I have none
She's gone and left me and I'm all alone
She's gone and left me,
content it must be
She loves another far better than me
And this green roll of laurel
soft falls at you
Sorry, my love, I'm parted with you
Sorry, my love, contented must be
She loves another far better than me
