My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And me father won't slight you
For your lack of kine
And then she stepped away from me
And this did she say
It will not be long love
'Til our wedding day
The people were saying
But no two e'er were wed
But one had a sorrow
That never was said
And I smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear
I dream keep
Last night
That my dead love came in
So softly she came
That her feet made no ding
She came close beside me
And this did she say
It will not be long love
'Til our wedding day
