American Old Time Song Lyrics: 18 Live In My Heart And Pay No Rent
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18
Live in My Heart and Pay No Rent.
Copyright, 1885, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Vourneen, when your day were bright,
Never an eye did I dare to lift to you,
But now in your fortune's blight
False ones are flying, in sunshine that knew you;
Still on our welcome true rely,
Tho' the crops may fail and the cow go dry,
Tho' your cabin be burnt and all be spent,
Come, live in my heart and pay no rent.
Chorus.
Come, come, live in my heart,
Oh! live in my heart and pay no rent;
Come, come, live in my heart,
Oh! live in my heart mavourneen.
Vourneen, dry up your tears,
The sensible people will tell you wait, dear,
But, ah! in the wasting of life's young years,
And our innocent hearts were committing a chate, dear;
For hearts when they are young should make the vow,
For when they are old sure they don't know how
So marry at once, and you'll not repent,
When you live in my heart and pay no rent.-Chorus.
