07 ME Ballad(Bessie) 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Apr 2003

She had a letter from her love
and on her heart she laid it!
'Twas all in rhyme
and Father Time
she vow'd could never fade it.
A.................h!
Ah me! Ah me!
A lover's vow:
She knoweth better now.

She lost the letter from her love
or somebody did steal it!
And Oh! the smart
in her poor heart
she vow'd that nought could heal it.
A.................h!
Ah me! Ah me!
A lover's vow:
She knoweth better now.

She found the letter from her love
when she had sorely missed it;
despite the stain of mud and rain
she fondled it,
and kissed it.
A.................h!
Ah me! Ah me!
A lover's vow:
She knoweth better now.
A..................h!
She knoweth better now.
