I Wonder What's Keeping My True Love Tonight

歌詞

I wonder what's keeping my true love tonight I wonder what's keeping her out of my sight It is little she knows of the pain that I endure Or she would not stay from me this night, I am sure Oh love, are you coming your cause to advance? Oh love, are you waiting for a far better chance? Or have you got a sweetheart laid by you in store? And you're coming to tell me that you love me no more? Oh love, I'm not coming my cause to advance And love, I'm not waiting for a far better chance But I have got a sweetheart laid by me in store And I'm coming to tell you that I love you no more For 'tis I can love lightly and 'tis I can love long And 'tis I can love the old love 'til the new love comes along I just said that I loved you for to set your mind at ease But when I'm far from you, I'll love whom I please Well, I've gold in my pocket and I've love in my heart But I can't love a maiden who has got two sweethearts Your love, it lies as lightly as the dew upon a thorn Comes down in the evening, goes away in the morn Green grass, it grows bonny, spring water runs clear I am weary and lonesome for the love of my dear You're my first and false true love and 'tis lately I knew That the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
