	The False Young Man
	2   For to see two lovers meet, my dear, And hear what they did say, That I might learn a little more of their mind Before I was forced away. 3   Before I was forced away, Before I was forced away, That I might learn a little more of their mind Before I was forced away. 4  Come in, come in, my old true love, And sit you down by me, For it has been three-quarters of a year Since together we have been. 5   Since together we have been, my dear, Since together we have been, For it has been three-quarters of a year Since together we have been. 6   I can't come in, my old true love, For I ain't got a moment to stay, For I heard you give your heart to another young man, And I've no more time to stay. 7   I've climbed as high a tree as there is, And I've robbed as rich a nest, And I've come down without e'er a fall, And I'll marry who I do love best. c
