1 Once I knew a little girl, and I loved her as my life; Freely would I have given her my hand and my heart To have made her my wife.
2 I took her by the hand and I led her to the door,
I embraced her in my arms and I asked her once more, Oh, I asked her once more.
3 She looked up in my face with scorn and disdain,
And the answer that she gave me was, "You can't come back again, No, you can't come back again." |
