American Old Time Song Lyrics: 16 Oh Share My Cottage
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 16
OH! SHARE MY COTTAGE.
Oh! share my cottage, gentle maid.
It only waits for thee,
To give a sweetness to its shade
And happiness to me.
Here, from the splendid gay parade
Of noise and folly free,
No sorrow can my peace invade,
If only blessed with thee.
Chorus.
Then share my cottage, gentle maid,
It only waits for thee,
To give a freshness to its shade
And happiness, happiness to me.
The hawthorn with the woodbine twined
Present their sweets to thee,
And every balmy breath of wind
Is filled with harmony.
A truly fond and faithful heart
Is all I offer thee,
And can'st thou see me thus depart
A prey to misery?-Chorus.
