then she'll be a true love of mine
(sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
tell her to find me an acre of land
(on the side of a hill asprinkling of le
aves)
parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
(washes the grave with silvery tears)
between the salt water and the sea stran

then she'll be a true love of mine
tell her to reap it with a sickle of lea

parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
(generals order their soldiers to kill)
and gather it all in a bunch of heather
(and to fight for a cause they've long a

then she'll be a true love of mine
