American Old Time Song Lyrics: 39 They Have Given Her To Another
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 39
They Have Given Her to Another.
They have given her to another, they have broken every vow,
They have given her to another, and my heart is lonely now;
They remembered not our parting, they remembered not our tears,
But they severed in one hour all the tender ties of years;
But they severed in one hour all the tender ties of years.
They have given her to another, she is now his loving bride;
Ead I loved her as a brother, I could see her by his side,
But I know that with gold they won her, And her trusting heart beguiled;
And her mother now does shun me, for she knows I loved her child;
And her mother now does shun me, for she knows I loved her child.
They have given her to another; she will love him too, they say,
If her heart it doth not chide her, but, perhaps, perhaps-, it may;
I know that she has spoken words she never can forget,
And although my heart is broken, I will love her, love her yet;
And although my heart is broken, I will love her, love her yet.
