about

An excellent old-time ballad I learned off a CD by the Ottawa based group Finest Kind.

lyrics

The time draws near my dearest dear, When you and I must part
What little you know of the grief and woe, in my poor aching heart.
It's what I suffer for your sake, you're the one I love so dear,
I wish that I was going with you, or you were staying here.

I wish my heart was made of glass wherein you might behold,
That there your name I wrote my love, in letters made of gold.
In letters made of gold my love, believe me when I say,
You are the only one for me until my dying day.

The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white,
If ever I proved false to you, bright day would turn to night.
Bright day would turn to night my love, the elements would mourn,
If ever I proved false to you the seas would rage and burn.
