My young love said to me My mother won't mind And my father won't tend you For your lack of kine And she put down hand on me And to me did say "Oh, it will not be long, love Till our wedding day"
She stepped away from me And she moved through the fair And slowly I watched her Move here and move there She went her way slowly And this she did say "It will not be long, love Till our wedding day"
Our wedding day Our wedding day
Last night she came to me My dead love came in And so softly she left room Her feet made no din And she put down hand on me And to me did say "Oh, it will not be long, love Till our wedding day"
It will not be long, love It will not be long, love Till your wedding day
