I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
It's little you know the pain I endure
Or you wouldn't stay for only this night, I am sure
Oh, love, are you coming our cause to advance
Or love, are you coming for a far better chance
You know you have my whole life placed by yours in store
And I just can't bare to think that I'll see you no more
For, love, I'm coming our cause to advance
For love, I'm not waiting for a far better chance
You will always be my sweetheart of that you can be sure
Now how can they tell me that I kiss you no more
For sometimes we loved lightly, but more times we loved long
And when I think about you I know where I belong
Last night you said you loved me, and it put my world at ease
Now you're far from me, come home darling please
Green gra** it grows bonny, still waters runs clear
I am weary and lonesome for the loss of my dear
You were my first and only true love and lately I knew
That the fonder I loved you, the closer we grew
Oh I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
It's little you know oh the pain I endure
Or you wouldn't stay from me this night, I am sure
Or you wouldn't stay from me this night, I am sure
