Lyrics
I once had a sweetheart
I loved her right well
I loved her far better
Than my tongue can tell
Her parents did slight me
For the want of thee
Adieu to all pleasure
Since I lost my dear
She went away from me
And moved through the fair
Where hand-clapping delays
Loud shouts rent the air
The sunlight around her
Did sparkle and play
Saying it will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
When dew falls on meadows
And moths fill the night
When glow from the green sark
On hop rows half light
I'll slip from my casement
And I'll run away
Then it will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
I dreamed last night
That my love came in
She came in so easy
Her feet made no din
She came stepping up to me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
'Til our wedding day
