[00:20.32]My young love said to me 'My mother won't mind
[00:31.69]And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind'
[00:42.82]And she stepped away from me and this she did say
[00:53.44]'It will not be long, love, till our wedding day'
[01:04.69]She stepped away from me, and she moved through the fair
[01:04.44]
[01:16.44]And fondly I watched her move here and move there
[01:27.44]And she turned her way homeward with one star awake
[01:38.31]As the swan in the evening moves over the lake
[02:35.06]The people were saying, 'no two e'er were wed'
[02:46.81]But one had a sorrow that never was said
[02:34.81]
[02:57.81]And she smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear
[03:09.06]And that was the last that I saw of my dear
[03:20.45]Last night she came to me, my true love came in
[03:31.82]And she came in so easy her feet made no din
[03:20.20]
[03:42.95]As she laid her hands on me and this she did say
[03:53.57]'It will not be long love, 'till our wedding day'
[04:56.94]No, it won't be long my love
[05:07.82]No, it won't be long my love
[04:56.69]
[05:18.69]No, it won't be long my love
