My own love said to me, "My mother won't mind "And my father won't slight you "For your lack of kind" He went away from me And this he did say, "It will not be long love 'Til our wedding day" He went away from me And he moved through the fair And slowly I watched him Move here and move there He went his way homeward With one star awake As a swan in the evening Moves over the lake. I dreamt last night That my own love came in He came in so sweetly His feet made no din He stepped close beside me And this he did say, "It will not be long love 'Til our wedding day" "It will not be long love 'Til our wedding day"
