AN INCONSTANT LOVER |
||
|
1
To meeting to meeting to meeting goes I,
To meet loving William he's a-coming by and bye;
To meet him in the meadow it's all my delight,
I can walk and talk with him from morning till night
2
For meeting is a pleasure and parting is a grief.
An inconstant true love is worse than a thief;
A thief will only rob you and take what you have,
But an inconstant true love will bring you to your grave.
3
Your grave it will rot you and turn you into dust, There's not one in twenty you'll dare for to trust; They'll kiss a poor maiden and it's all to deceive, There's not one in live hundred you'll dare to believe.
4*
If I am forsaken I am not forsworn,
And you're badly mistaken if you think I do mourn;
I'll dress myself up in some high degree,
And I'll pass as light by him as he does by me.
5
Come, young men and maidens, take warning by me, Never put your affections on a green willow tree; The top it will wither and the roots they will rot, And if I am forsaken, I know I'm not forgot. |
