I once had a lover, oh I loved her very dearly She told me she loved me so I thought she spoke sincerely But one day, away I found that she had flown And off to find that love of mine I set alone
Looking high, high, high Looking low, low, low Wondering why, why why Did she go, go, go? For if I, I, I Don't find my love I know I shall die, die, die 'Cause I love her so
I journeyed across the sea I sought her with devotion But where she could really be I'd not the slightest notion But so bright, the light Of lovе.
