[00:08.26]My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind
[00:17.16]And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
[00:26.14]And she stepped away from me and this she did say
[00:35.14]It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"
[00:53.23]As she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
[01:02.11]And fondly I watched her move here and move there
[01:10.99]And then she turned homeward with one star awake
[01:19.94]Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake
[01:38.00]The people were saying no two e'er were wed
[01:46.80]But one had a sorrow that never was said
[01:55.90]And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear
[02:04.77]And that was the last time that I saw of my dear
[02:31.95]The people were saying no two e'er were wed
[02:40.71]But one had a sorrow that never was said
[02:49.69]And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear
[02:58.62]And that was the last time that I saw of my dear
[03:09.03]Last night she came to me my dead love came in
[03:19.25]And so softly she came that her feet made no din
[03:27.80]As she laid her hand on me and this she did say
[03:36.85]"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"
