Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
I Wonder What is Keeping My True Love Tonight

I Wonder What is Keeping My True Love Tonight

I Wonder What is Keeping My True Love Tonight

I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping her out of my sight
It is little she knows of the pain I endure
Or she would not stay from me this night I am sure

Oh love are you coming your cause to advance
Or love are you waiting for a far better chance
Or have you got a sweetheart placed by you in store
And are you coming to tell me that you love me no more?

Oh love I'm not coming my cause to advance
Or love I'm not waiting for a far better or chance
But it's I have got a sweetheart placed by me in store
And I am coming to tell you that I love you no more

For its I can love lightly or I can love long
And I can keep the old love till the new comes along
I just said that I loved you for to set your mind at ease
And when you're far from me, I will love whom I please

Green grass it grows bonny, still waters run clear
I am weary and lonesome for the loss of my dear
She was my first and only fond love and lately I knew
That the fonder I loved her, the falser she grew
