He gained my heart and liberty
He gained my heart and good free will
I must confessi love him still
I must confess I love him still
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I was a maid again
A maid again I ne'er shall be
For that young farmer lay with me.
There is a house in yonder town
Where my love goes and sits him down
He takes a strange girl on his knee
He tells her things he won't tell me
He tells her things he won't tell me
Chorus
There is a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
I wish it was the same with me
When first I met your company
When first I met your company
Chorus
I wish my little babe was born
And I poor girl was dead and gone
And then from love I will be free
With green grass growing over me
With green grass growing over me
Chorus
A bold young farmer courted me
He gained my heart and liberty
He gained my heart and good free will
I must confess I love him still
I must confess I love him still
Chorus
A bold young farmer courted me He gained my heart and liberty He gained my heart and good free will I must confessi love him still I must confess I love him still I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I was a maid again A maid again I ne'er shall be For that young farmer lay with me. There is a house in yonder town Where my love goes and sits him down He takes a strange girl on his knee He tells her things he won't tell me He tells her things he won't tell me Chorus There is a bird in yonder tree Some say he's blind and cannot see I wish it was the same with me When first I met your company When first I met your company Chorus I wish my little babe was born And I poor girl was dead and gone And then from love I will be free With green grass growing over me With green grass growing over me Chorus A bold young farmer courted me He gained my heart and liberty He gained my heart and good free will I must confess I love him still I must confess I love him still Chorus Explain Request ×
