Once I loved a girl
And I loved her as my life freely
Would I have given her my hand and my heart
To make her my wife
But she took me by the hand
And she led me to the door
And the answer that she gave me was
Don't come here no more
Oh don't come here no more
So I stayed away six weeks
Which caused her to complain
And she wrote me a letter saying please come back again
Oh please come back again
Well I wrote her another lord
It was to let her know
That a young man often adventures
Where he ought not to go
Oh
Where he ought not to go
For the leaves they will wither
And the roots they will decay
And the beauty of a fair young maid
Will soon fade away
Oh will soon fade away
