My young love said to me My mother won't mind And father won't slight you For your lack of kind Then she stepped from me And this she did say \"It will not long love, till our wedding day\".
She stepped away from me she moved through the fair and fondly I watched her Moved here and there Then she made her way homeward with one awake As the swan in the evening moves over the lake
I it last night That my dead love came in So softly moved That her made no din Then she came close beside me And this she say \"It will not be long love, till our wedding day\".
