To the Queen of Hearts he's the Ace of Sorrow
He's here today, he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweet-hearts few
If my love leaves me, what shall I do?
Had I the store on yonder mountain
With gold and silver, I had for counting
I could not think for the heart of thee
My eyes so full, I could not see
My father left me both house and land
And servants many at my command
At my commandment they ne'er shall be
I'll forsake them all and go with thee
I love my father, I love my mother.
I love my sister, I love my brother
I love my friends, my relations too
But I'll leave them all and go with you
To the Queen of Hearts he's the Ace of Sorrow
He's here today, he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweet-hearts few
If my love leaves me, what shall I do?
