«All of my friends fell out with me
Because I kept your company
But let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will
One, I love, two, she loves
And three, shes true to me
They tell me Im poor, they tell me Im young
I tell them all to hold their tongues
If they could part the sand from the sea
Theyd never part my love from me
One, I love, two, she loves
And three, shes true to me
Over the mountain I must go
Because my fortune is too low
With an aching heart and a troubled mind
For leaving my own true love behind
One, I love, two, she loves
And three, shes true to me
Its when Im awake, I find no rest
Until her head lies on my chest
And when Im asleep Im dreaming of
My one, my dear, my own true love
One, I love, two, she loves
And three, shes true to me
And when the fire to ice will run
And when the tide no longer turns
And when the rocks melt with the sun
My love for you will have just begun
One, I love, two, she loves
And three, shes true to me»
