All my friends fell out with me

Because i kept your company

Let them say whatever they will

I love my love with a free good will

Chorus:

1 i love

2 he loves

3 he's true to me

They tell me he's poor

And they tell me he's young

I tell them all to hold their tongue

If they might part the sand and the sea

They might part my love and me (chorus)

It's over the mountains he must go

Because his fortune is so low

With an aching heart and a troubled mind

For leaving his love so far behind (chorus)

It's when the fires all cease to burn

And when the seas to ice to turn

When all the rocks all melt in the sun

My move for you has just begun (chorus)
