So it's hard for to love when you can't be loved Oh, it's hard for to change your mind You have broke the heart of a many poor boy Oh, you'll never break this heart of mine So I'm goin' away but I ain't a-go'n' to stay If I go ten thousand miles Though I'm goin' away but I'm coming back again If I go ten thousand miles So you see the turtledove Sing in yonder's pine It's a-grievin' over the loss of his love Just like I grieve about mine So the farm is fee'd like a solid block of ice Oh, the fee run raw an' barr'n Though the farm is fee'd like a solid block of ice But my love for you won't care So it's who will shoe them pretty little feet Oh, it's who will glove them hands Oh, it's who will kiss them red ruby cheeks Lord, I'm in some far-off land So it's papa will shoe my pretty little feet Oh, mama will glove my hands Oh, sister will kiss my red ruby cheeks And I ain't a-gonna marry no man
