Lone Some Scenes Of Winter

Lonesome Scenes of Winter - Cara Dillon

As the lonesome scenes of winter in stormy winds so blow

Clouds around the center inclined to frost and snow

You're the boy that I have chosen to be my only dear

Your scornful heart is frozen and drifted far I fear

One night I went to see my love

but he proved most scornfully

I asked him if he'd marry me

but he would not marry me

The night it is far spent

my love

it's near the break of day

And I'm waiting for your answer

my dear, what do you say?

I can but playing tell you

I 'll lead a single life

I never thought it fitting that you should be my wife

So take a civil answer and for yourself provide

I have another sweetheart and you I have laid aside

Now my mind is changing that old love for the new

This wide and lonsome valley I mean to ramble thru'

In search of someone handsome that might my fancy fill

That world is wide and lonesome

If he don't another will

End

End
