Lyrics
1. One day as I was walking one morning in the spring,
I heard a maiden singing and sweetly she did sing,
And yet she seemed so lonely and always so sang she,
I love my love because he knows he first loved me.
2. My love he was sent from me by friends that were unkind,
They sent him far away far beyond the seas to torment my mind,
Although I’ve suffered for his sake, contented will I be,
For I love my love because I know he first loved me.
3. My love he’ll not come near me, to hear the moan I make,
And neither would he pity me give my poor soul heart should break;
But though I’ve suffered for his sake, contented will I be,
For I love my love because I know he first loved me
