Are you going to leave me, love

Are you going to leave me

Would you give up your own love true

To go with a girl you never knew

My true love stands in the bower door

Combing down his yellow hair

His bonnie face I like to see

I wonder if my love thinks of me

When I wore my apron low

Couldn't keep you from my door

But now my apron's to my shin

You pass me by and won't come in

I wish my baby it was born

Smiling on his daddy's knee

And I a poor girl dead and gone

And the green grass growing over me

Now there's a bird in your church yard

They say he's blind and cannot see

I wish it had been the same with me

Before I kept your company

I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain

I wish I was a maid again

But a maid again I will never be

Since that young man lay still with me

Are you going to leave me, love

Are you going to leave me

Would you give up your own love true

To go with a girl you never knew
