And how I love your long black hair
I love the ground on which you go
I want you as my lady

How I love the way you look
From me my heart away you took
I will not rest until the day
I have you as my lady

Chorus 1
I’d strive so hard I wouldn’t rest
I’d work for you I’d do my best
My heart it sure will find no peace
Until you are my lady
I’d plough the fields I’d sow the crops
I wouldn’t rest I wouldn’t stop
All of these things I’d do for you
If you would be my lady

Oh you sir you just tend the land
You could not hope to have my hand
You have no chance to be with me
I will not be your lady.

Your hands are hard your manner rough
You could not hope to give enough
To win my heart and take my hand
I’ll never be your lady

Chorus 2
My lady you do hurt me so
Now from this place I sure will go
My blood upon the earth I’ll spill
For you won’t be my lady
Oh no sir no sir please don’t go
To spill your blood just for to show
How much it is I mean to you
Sure I’ll be your lady

Instrumental

(Slowly)
My favour sir it is with you
You’ve won my heart I’ll be with you
Come take my hand and walk with me I’ll be forever more your lady
