All my friends fell out with me
because I kept your company
let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will

Chorus:
1 I love
2 he loves
3 he's true to me

They tell me he's poor
and they tell me he's young
I tell them all to hold their tongue
if they might part the sand and the sea
they might part my love and me (Chorus)

It's over the mountains he must go
because his fortune is so low
with an aching heart and a troubled mind
for leaving his love so far behind (Chorus)

It's when the fires all cease to burn
and when the seas to ice to turn
when all the rocks all melt in the sun
my move for you has just begun (Choru
