One, I love Two, she loves And three, she's true to me
All of my friends fell out with me Because I kept your company Let them say whatever they will I love my love with a free good will
They tell me he's poor, they tell me he's young I tell them all to hold their tongue If they could part the sand from the sea They never could part my love from me
It's over the mountain he must go Because his fortune is too low With an aching heart and a troubled mind He's leaving his own true love behind
When I'm awake, I find no rest Until his head lies on my breast When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of My one, my dear, my own true love
And when the fire to ice will run When the tide no longer turns When the rocks melt with the sun My love for you will have just begun
