I'd Pluck a Fair Rose

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's joined in song

With your heart matin'

My heart is sore, until it joins in song

With your heart matin'
