We have met and we have parted.
We have spoke our last goodbye.
You have proved me false hearted.
You have wrecked this heart I cherish
You have done me day by day
You are lost, but I'll forgive you
To forget you I cannot say
For I love you, dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have proved me falsehearted
I'll loiter until I see your face once more
And I'll plunge beneath the cold, wa ter
And I'll land on some far shore
Down among the trees and the bushes
Where the dark green willows wail
In the cold and silent rushes
For I love you dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have proved to me, falsehearted
Oh, I wish, I wish I was white marble
Gold and white on some far shore
Then this poor heart would
And I'd feel this pain no more
For I love you dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have ruled me, false party
Oh, I love you, I love you dear, I love you
More than all, than all this world
I have to move to leave false heartaches
And I must now forever go you
