My young love said to me, My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kine"
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say:
It will not be long, love, Till our wedding day"
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she turned her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
The people were saying,
No two were e'er wed
But one has a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear,
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.
Last night she came to me,
My true love came in
She came in so easy her feet made no din And she laid her hands on me
And this she did say It will not be long, love, 'Til our wedding day
