Lyrics

She’s like the swallow that flies so high
She’s like the river that never runs dry
She’s like the sunshine on the lee shore
I love my love
And love is no more

‘Twas out in the garden this fair maid did go
A-pickin’ the beautiful primrose

And the more she plucked the more she pulled
Until she got her apron full

It’s out of these roses she made her bed

A stony pillow for her head

And she laid her down no word she spoke
Until this fair maid’s heart was broke

She’s like the swallow that flies so high
She’s like the river that never runs dry
She’ like the sunshine on the sea shore
I love my love and love is no more
