Cat. #0563 (MFH #194) - As sung by Mrs. Norma Kisner, Springdale, Arkansas on November 25, 1960
VERSE 1
O, once I loved with fond affection
My thoughts were all of him, I know
Until some dark eyed girl betrayed me
An' now he's left me all alone
CHORUS:
So, if he's gone, just let him wander
I hope I never shall cross his path
For in his heart he loves another
And in my grave, I'd rather be
VERSE 2
A many a night, while he lies sleeping
A dreaming o'er his sweet repose
That I poor girl, lay broken hearted
An' listen to th winds that blow
VERSE 3
There's just three things that love, I ask thee
My shroud, my coffin an' my grave
And when I'm dead, love come an' see me
An' kiss th girl you once betrayed
