Come all ye maids who live at a distance
Many a mile from off your swain,
Come and a**ist me this very moment
For to pa** away some time.
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I find no rest,
Every moment thinking of you
My heart fixed within your breast.
Though great distance may prove a**istance
From my mind your love to remove
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
All the world should be one religion
All living things should cease to die
If ever I prove false to my j**el
Any way my love deny!
The world would change and be most strange
If ever I inconstant prove,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
So farewell lads and fare ye well la**es
Now I think I've got my choice,
I'll away to yonder island
Where I think I hear your voice.
If you call then I will follow
Though the ocean be so wide,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
