Lyrics
Oh, false one, you have deceived me!
I have deceived you?
Yes, deceived me!
You told me you were fair as gold!
And, master, am I not so?
And now I see you're plain and old
I'm sure I'm not a jot so
Upon my innocence you play
I'm not the one to plot so
Your face is lined, your hair is grey
It's gradually got so
Faithless woman, to deceive me
I who trusted so
Master, master, do not leave me
Hear me, ere you go
Faithless woman
Master, master
Faithless woman!
Master, master!
Faithless woman to deceive me (Do not leave me, do not leave me)
I who trusted so (Hear me ere you go)
Faithless woman to deceive me (Master, master, do not leave me)
I who trusted so (Hear me ere you go)
My love without reflecting
Oh, do not be rejecting
Take a maiden tender, her affection raw and green
At very highest rating
Has been accumulating
Summers seventeen? Summers seventeen
Don't, beloved master
Crush me with disaster
What is such a dower to the
Dower I have here?
Don't, beloved master (Yes, your former master)
Crush me with disaster (Saves you from disaster)
What is such a dower to the (Your love would be uncomfortably)
Dower I have here? (Fervid, it is clear)
My love unabating (If, as you are stating)
Has been accumulating (Has been accumulating)
Forty-seven year (Forty-seven year!)
Forty-seven year (Forty-seven year!)
Faithless woman to deceive me
I who trusted so
Faithless woman to deceive me (Master, master, do not leave me)
I who trusted so (Hear me ere you go)
What shall I do? Before these gentle maidens
I dare not show in this alarming costume!
No, no, I must remain in close concealment
Until I can appear in decent clothing!
