Will Ye Gang Love

1. As I came in by yon rushy wood

what spied I at my true loves door

my heart stood still me eyes grew blind

for to see my bonnie lad leave me behind.

R: And will ye gang love and leave me now

will ye gang love and leave me now

will ye foresake your own love true

and gang wi' a lass that you never knew.

2. As I came in by yon lenten wend

I spied another my love attend

I bowed my head I cried achon

the best of my good days are gone.

R:

3. And will I tell you the reason why

because she's got more gold than I

and I will tell you the reason true

the sweeter taste of a love that's new.

R:

4. I leaned my back against an oak

thinking it was a trusty tree

but first it bent and then it broke

and so has my love done unto me.

R:

5. And if you love me we'll never part

and instead of gold you can have my heart

you can have my heart with a right good will

you're a bonnie laddie I love you still.

R:
