I went one Sunday evening

My true love for to see

I asked her to marry

And she would not answer me

The night is almost spent

It is near the break of day

I'm waiting for an answer

Oh what will you say

Kind sir if I must tell you

I'd choose the single life

I never thought it suited for me to be your wife

Sir take this for an answer and for yourself provide

I have another lover and you must be denied

In the course of six weeks later

This lady's mind did change

She wrote me a letter kind sir

I feel ashamed

I feel as though I slighted you

I cannot hear you mourn

So here is my heart

Come take it and claim it as your own

I wrote her back an answer and sent it back in speed

I own that once did love you

I loved you dear indeed

But since my mind has changed me

I seek another way

Upon some pretty fair maiden

My heart will have its sway

Upon some pretty fair maiden

My heart shall have its fill

This world is wide and lonely

If one won't another one will
