frank harte - i wonder what is keeping my true love lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, i wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
i wonder what is keeping her out of my sight
it is little she knows of the pain i endure
or she would not stay from me this night i am sure

[verse 2]
oh, love are you coming your cause to advance?
or love are you waiting for a far better chance?
or have you got a sweetheart laid by you in store
and you are coming to tell me that you love me no more?

[verse 3]
oh love, i’m not coming my cause to advance
or love, i’m not waiting for a far better chance
but i have a sweetheart laid by me in store
and i am coming to tell you that i love you no more

[verse 4]
oh ’tis i can love lightly and i can love long
and ’tis i can love the old love till the new love comes on
i just said i loved you for to set your mind at ease
and when you are far from me, i will love love whom i please

[verse 4]
well i have gold in my pocket and i’ve love in my heart
but i can’t love a maiden who has got two sweethearts
your love lies as lightly as the dew upon the th+rne
that comes down in the evening, goes away in the morn
[verse 5]
green grass it grows bonny, spring water runs clear
i am weary and a+lonesome for the love of my dear
you were my first and false true love but is lately i knew
that the fonder i loved you, well the falser you grew

[verse 6]
so come all of you young men take a warning by me
and it’s don’t build your nest on the top of a tree
for the leaves they will wither and the branches decay
and like a false+hearted young maid they will soon fade away
