Lyrics
I wish to the Lord I’d never been born
Or died when I was young
I never woulda seen your sparkling blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are over
All the good times are past and gone
Little darling don’t you weep no more.
Now don’t you see that turtle dove
Flying from pine to pine
It’s mourning for its own true love
Just like I mourn for mine.
Come back, come back my own true love
And stay a while with me
For if ever I’ve had a friend in this world
You’ve been a friend to meDemo Videos
