Newcastle

Come you not from Newcastle? Come you there far away? Oh, met you not my true love Who dwells near Dublin bay? Why should I not love my love? Why shouldn't my love love me? Why should I not speed after her Since love to all is free? Her father, once my true friend Now turns me from the door Her mother owed me worthy Now bids me love no more Why should I not love my love? Why shouldn't my love love me? Why should I not speed after her Since love to all is free? Her squire, once my true friend But now my rival be While I, Willie, madly wail away To sail the stormy sea Why should I not love my love? Why shouldn't my love love me? Why should I not speed after her Since love to all is free? In spite of flame and danger With her Willie, she will roam My arms, her safe defenders Her breast, my happy home Why should I not love my love? Why shouldn't my love love me? Why should I not speed after her Since love to all is free?
