I wished that Lord I'd never been born to die when I was young
I never would have seen your two brown eyes
And heard your flattering tongue, my love
I heard your flattering tongue
Well, I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine
♪
Who will shoe your little feet?
Who will glove your hand?
Who will kiss your red rose cheek
When I'm in the foreign land, my love
When I'm in the foreign land?
Now I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine

I never would have looked upon her
And now I don't understand her hair to be black or brown
I read the up and top a gun hill
The rain a-pouring down, down
The rain a-pouring down
Well, I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine
♪
Remember what you told me, dear, as we stood side by side
You promised that you'll marry me
And be no other man's bride, my love
And be no other man's bride
Well, I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine
♪
Shall no longer be mine
Shall no longer to be mine
Shall no longer be mine
♪
My mother would shoe your little feet
My father would glove your hand
My brother would kiss your red rose cheek
When I'm in the foreign land, my love
When I'm in the foreign land
Now, I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine
Now, I truly understand that she loves another man
Your heart shall no longer be mine
