I'd a-pluck a fair rose for my love
I'd a-pluck a red rose blowin'
Love's in my heart, I'm tryin' so to prove
What you heart's knowin'
I'd a-pluck a finger on a thorn
I'd a-pluck a finger bleedin'
Red is my heart, wounded and forlorn
And your heart needin'
I'd a-hold a finger to my tongue
I'd a-hold a finger waitin'
My heart is sore, until it joins in song
With your heart matin'
My heart is sore, until it joins in song
With your heart matin'
