Lyrics
My young love said to me
"My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind"
She stepped away from me
And this she did say
"It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day"
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And then she turned homeward
With one star awake
Like the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
Last night she came to me
My young love came in
She came in so softly
Her feet made no din
She put her hand on me
And this she did say
"It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day"
