My Young Man

Artist：kate rusby

Songs Title：my young man

My young man wears a frown

With his eyes all closed and his head bowed down

My young man never sleeps.

The rain it falls upon his back

The dust before his eyes is black

Oft the times, oft the times my young man weeps.

My young man wears a coat

Once, long ago, a bonnie coat

Which my young man wore with pride.

Now I dress the coat all on his back

For love for him I will not lack

But to see it now, that colliers coat, I cant abide.

My young man, wheres he gone?

Once in his eyes my whole world shone

Now my young man he looks away.

Man and wife we used to be

Now hes like a child upon my knee

And in my arms I help my young man through the day.

A young girl no more am I

But I shall not weep and I will not cry

For my young man needs me still.

If someones watching up above

Youll see how much my dear I love

So leave him here, I need him now and always will.

Oh if someones watching up above

Youll see how much my dear I love

And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well
