The False True Love

Come in, come in, you old true love
And sit awhile with me
For it's been three quarters of a long year or more
Since I spoke one word to thee
I won't come in, I won't sit down
For I haven't a moment's time
And since you are engaged to another true love
Then your heart is no longer mine
When you were mine, my own true love
Then your head lay on my breast
You could make me believe by the falling of your arms
That the sun rose up in the west
And it's many's the star that shines in the west
And it's many's the leaf that blows
And it's many's the damn that shall light upon a man
For treating a young girl so
And I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or had died when I was young
Then I never would have mourned for my own true love
Nor have courted another one
Come in, come in, you old true love
And sit awhile with me
For it's been three quarters of a long year or more
Since I spoke one word to thee
