Once I loved your fond affection |
|
All my hopes on you was spent |
|
Till a dark eyed girl persuaded |
|
And you cared no more for me |
|
Go on and leave me if you wish to |
|
Never let me cross your mind |
|
In your heart you love another |
|
Never on earth will I call you mine |
|
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee |
|
When I'm dead and in my coffin |
|
And my pale face toward the sun |
|
Will you come and sit beside me |
|
And think of what you have done |
|
Go on and leave me if you wish to |
|
Never let me cross your mind |
|
In your heart you love another |
|
Never on earth will I call you mine |
|
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee |
|
When I'm dead and in my coffin |
|
And the shroud about me bound |
|
Will you come and scatter roses |
|
Upon your lover's mound |
|
Go on and leave me if you wish to |
|
Never let me cross your mind |
|
In your heart you love another |
|
Never on earth will call I you mine |
|
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee |
