My young love said to me
my mother won't mind
and my father won't slight you for your lack of kind
and she turned away from me and this she did say
it will not be long love to our wedding day

She stepped away from me as she moved through the fair
and fondly I watched her go here and there
and she turned away from me with her goods and her gear
and that was the last that I saw of my dear

I dreamt it last night that my young love came in
so softly she entered her feet made no din
she sat down beside me and this she did say
it will not be long love till our wedding day
