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 me
