Weary From Lying Alone
One evening of late as I carelessly strayedI espied a fair maid in deep mournAsked her the matter, she quickly made answerI am weary from lying alone, aloneI am weary from lying aloneMy comely young damsel, come down here alongside meAnd tell me of the years that have a flownFor seven long gone and eleven years aroundI am weary from lying alone, aloneI am weary from lying aloneIf I got a comely young man, who would take me without fortuneAnd make me a wife of his very ownFor the truth is I'll say is, I'll die in despairIf I lie any longer alone, aloneIf I lie any longer aloneThere's a neat sweet lil' flower in this garden alongside meTake it away sure it is all but your ownFor the flower it will fade and so also will the maidFor she's weary from lying alone, aloneFor she's weary from lying alone
