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 she'll love no more.
Twas out in the garden this fair maid did go,
A picking the beautiful prim-e-rose;
The more she plucked the more she pulled
Until she got her a-pr-on full.
Twas out of those roses she made a bed,
A stony pillow for her head.
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's like the sunshine on the lee shore.
She lost her love and she'll love no more.
