¶Liedtext

Once I was young; now westward goes the sun; Once I two sweethearts had, but now I have none. Ah! how by woman’s wiles the laddies are undone. Good love there is, and love that is not true I loved a lassie and I faithfully did woo. Ah, how the laddies are by woman made to rue. O faithless fair one, my night is drawing nigh; Look at my trembling hand, and listen to my sigh— Ah, how thro’ woman false the laddies pine and die.
