False True Love
SHIRLEY COLLINS
Come in come in you old true love
And chat for awhile with me
For it's been three quarters of a long year or more
Since I spoke one word to thee
I shan't come in I shan't set down
I ain't got a moment's time
And since you are engaged with another true love
Then your heart is no longer mine
When you were mine my old true love
Then your head lay on my breast
You could make me believe by the falling of your arm
That the sun rose up in the west
There is many the star shall jingle in the west
There is many the leafs below
There is many the damn that shall lite upon a man
For treating a poor girl so
I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or had died when I was young
Then I never would have mourned for my old true love
Nor have courted no other one
